Network in Virtualbox, Ubuntu 9

[d_ram22]

I use VirtualBox on my XP machine at work. It's pretty nice, and you can't beat free. I've run Ubuntu and Linux Mint on it with no problems.

Hello, I have installed virtualbox 3.1 on my xp OS and have installed ubuntu9 guest version in it. The internet worked fine on in ubuntu in the office network but did not work at home network. After this it has also stopped working in office network. I have NAT adapter enabled. Thanks in advance for you help.

I've never had to do anything special to get my network running in Virtualbox. NAT is enabled by default, if I'm not mistaken. Is this on a laptop that's being carried back and forth between work and home? Do you have different network setups for both?

Thats correct. I have VB installed on my work laptop which I also use to connect from home. I use wifi in both the places to connect. I worked fine right after the installation and then it stopped working. Any hint to make it work would be appreciated.

Nothing changed with your setup between install and when it stopped working? What happens exactly? Is it unable to connect at all or are you getting errors?
