Laptop with Linux Mint 13 host with Win7 Guest. 2 network adaptors configured, 1 NAT and 1 Bridged. Guest will only see internet if network cable plugged into laptop. Won't see internet if laptop is on either Wireless or Mobile Broadband.
Have disabled IPV6 in guests network adaptor properties (from a VB forum).
Any ideas how to get the guest to see the internet when the host is using non-wired connections? This used to work a few months ago but maybe VB has updated something.
Found a simple solution to the connectivity problem in Virtualbox:
Set the Network setting to NAT in Virtualbox settings for the Virtual/Guest Machine
After booting into the virtual/guest machine, go to Network Adapter Properties,
and insert the following DNS server addresses:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(OpenDNS configuration)
Now full internet connectivity is established.

I need to enable my eth0 network which is configured with a static IP with the network manager. I have also multiple VM's and all that in one machine. I need to test one Server VM which is also configured with a static IP.
Now I want to connect to this VM's with the host machine. But the host machine don't enables the eth0 because there is no cable plugged in. Furthermore I don't have the possibility to use a cable or any kind of physical network, because it will be a live demo.
The VM's are Virtualbox Machines which are "connected" with as a network bridge on eth0.
If your host machine has wifi feature built in, you can use the bridged network mode :
Turn on wifi hotspot feature on your smartphone
Connect host machine to your smartphone's hotspot network
In the VM's settings, use bridged network and choose the host's wireless adapter as the source
And done.

I have virtualised an ancient XP machine that was on physical hardware that was dying and am running the VM from inside a windows 8 64-bit host on the same network.
The VM is required to be on the same network as host as it is the only thing configured to talk to a piece of equipment connected on the network.
However when I set the adapter to Bridge mode in the VM the XP Vm doesnt recieve an IP address and cant communicate on the network. It works in NAT mode, however then the VM cant be on the same network as host and see the hardware that it needs to talk to.
Any one think of a reason why Bridge mode isn't working? and what I could do to fix it.
Summary
Windows 8 64bit, VM Player 10 Host
XP 32bit VM.
Bridged adaptor not working on host network.
Ok well the answer was not so simple.
Basically the switch that the host computer is connected to is a Cisco switch with port security enabled. So it wasn't allowing the second MAC address from my VM access to the network. I contacted the networking guys and they removed port security for the particular port (or upped the limit on the number of devices allowed on the port) and all is good now.

I am running Tunnelblick from my Mac.
My local network is 192.168.0.0/32 and the network I am trying to connect is 192.168.252.0/22.
Also, I am using a VM (Parallels) running Windows 8.1.
I want to connect to a VPN from my Mac and share this network with my VM.
So, I am facing some problems to do that. Here they go:
When I'm connected to the VPN, my ip address does not change to the ip address from the VPN network. My ip is still 192.168.0.132.
Despite the problem with the ip address, from the host I still can 'ping' the hosts from the network I am trying to connect writing 'ping host.domain.com'. But 'ping host' does not work.
I've already set the network to ‘shared’ in the device menu from Parallels. But, even with this, my ip address from the VM is 10.211.55.4.
In my VM I can't even ping the hosts from the other network
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. All this problem is a little complex to describe.
Something important: The same configuration file I am using works perfectly (without the IP and the DNS problems) when I am using a Windows machine.
Change the VM's network adapter type to "Shared" within Parallels Desktop.
Configure virtual machine
Change network source to shared network
if that still does not work, disable ipv6 in guest machine.

Few days ago it was working fine but I don't know what happened yesterday it stopped working.The internet connection is fine in windows os but when I open vmware workstation then it won't work.In my network sharing I have vmware network adapter VMNET8 which I have configured for internet connection in vmware workstation as I said it was working fine but now it is not working when I start diagnose it says that the VMNET8 does not have a valid ip configuration and it is on DHCP. I am totally confused what to do.
Go to your network sharing open the properties of Vmware network adapter vmnet8 and vmnet 1 and mark the bridge protocol than go to there ipv4 addresses and give them the same ip addresses as you have on physical machine and change the vmware machine setting to bridge protocol check out it will work 100%.
if you need further detail how to fix your vmvare networking issues follow the link along.vmware bridging and vmnet and nat network configuration

How do I set up a network between the Host and the guest OS in Windows vista?
Give the guest two network adapters, one NAT and the other Host-only. The NAT one will allow the guest to see the Internet, and the Host-only one will allow the host to see the guest.
One of them also allows the guest to see the host. I'm not sure which, but I know it works since I've tested web server stuff with it. You just have to choose the right IP address, 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x.
Also, you may have to be careful about having File and Printer Sharing running on both adapters at once, since the guest will see its own name and conflict with itself. I ran into this during install.
I've got a better answer than my first one.
Give the guest a single Host-only network adapter, and enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the host. I've tried this on a Windows XP host with a Windows XP guest.
The guest can connect to the Internet.
The guest can connect to the host at an address like 192.168.0.1 (chosen by ICS). -- Remember to allow the guest through the host's firewall.
The host can connect to the guest at an address like 192.168.0.22 (assigned by the DHCP service provided by ICS).
You can do this on a Linux host. I've documented the steps I took in Ubuntu 9.04 here.
I don't run vista, but virtualbox should do most of the setup for you - all you need to do is assign an IP address, subnet mask, and (optionally) a default gateway to your guest OS, and it should just work.
Don't bother with any of the advanced network settings in the options for the VM - they're useful in some situations, but I've never had to use them, and I've been using virtualbox for some years now.
If you post the specific problem you're having perhaps I can help more. But your question is rather vague...
