Enabling Network on VirtualBox with Mobile Broadband
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 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 18:03:73:6c:45:17 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Interrupt:46 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:322 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:322 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:35653 (35.6 KB) TX bytes:35653 (35.6 KB) ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:10.134.80.235 P-t-P:10.6.6.6 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:15072 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:14818 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:3 RX bytes:14028308 (14.0 MB) TX bytes:1659735 (1.6 MB)
