Ultra-newbie question here:
I am trying to set up a bridged Kubuntu 14.04 VirtualBox VM that connects to the same WIFI network that my Win 7 host uses. The "Bridged Adapter" network setting has been enabled, Promiscuous Mode is in effect, the "Cable Connected" box has been checked, and my /etc/network/interfaces file has been modified to read thusly:
I've successfully managed to do this in the past but configuration difficulties have led me to uninstall and reinstall my VM several times and I haven't managed get bridged networking up and running again since then. Prior to editing my interfaces file, I noticed that VirtualBox defaulted to its own wired connection. However, after making those modifications and rebooting the system, it, along with any other available connection has simply vanished. When I run ifconfig, the only network displayed is my loopback device. After editing interfaces but before the reboot, both lo and eth0 were still visible when I ran ifconfig. What am I overlooking here? This has worked for me in the past but I can't remember what I did then that I'm neglecting to do this time around. Any help would be appreciated.
