Hello,
I've a Windows 7 vbox installation and everything is working fine, except internet connection. I've installed vbox mainly to play online and use Sky go, so I really need internet connection in the virtualized machine.
I've already read of similar problems on various forums but I couldn't get this to work, so I decided to post here.
Basically I've tried every network option available in vbox but the result is always the same: no internet connection and no ethernet driver installed in the vbox.
Here's the result of ifconfig command on my ubuntu host, where internet works flawlessly by cable connection.
