Enabling Network on VirtualBox with Mobile Broadband

5,211

The problem is solved. I changed the network configuration on Virtual Box.

The configuration which enabled networking on guest OS is below.

Attached to:     NAT
Adapter Type:    Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscous Mode: Allow VMs
Cable Connected: Yes

The solution which Parth gave was correct. Its just that Cable Connected was disabled in the configuration.

    I have set up a Windows7 VM on Virtual Box. Host OS is Ubuntu Oneiric. I am connected to internet on host OS using mobile connection. I want to use this connection on my VM as well. But I am unable to set up network on Virtual Box.

    I googled for the solution. But most of them were either for Wireless or for wired connection. I tried few of them but in vain.

    I am a newbie and don't have much idea how to do this. Please help me so that I can connect my VM to the host OS network.

    My current network settings are as follows.

    $ ifconfig

    Yes... my host os connection is working fine. NAT is also enabled. But still VM is not connected to network!
