I suggest trying to configure that interface, not vbox0. vbox0 is an interface on the host OS. This howto from Ubuntu may help you out; notice that everything is configured on the host machine, the guest machine has no real differences: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox#Networking --------------enig8392F638E5A127E8FAC0DA15 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkffNQACgkQ2i3YYzbDt08+WwCg8jU+K0oQ8sxLe/LB2JQgyH+q k24AoLTNkc0ynP1oLO2FctEDVNjAUEAu =RL77 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig8392F638E5A127E8FAC0DA15--
