Hi,
As you probably know I am struggling to configure Oracle's VirtualBox
for web development testing.
VirtualBox is a mess. I cannot get it to work for PHP testing. It will
either work external so I can build the server OR I can make it visible
to my local net and I am not able to pull
Since you're use case is mostly to support your development workflow, you
might look at Vagrant:

It sits on top of VirtualBox and makes setup and teardown of dev
environments fairly trivial. Well, trivial a
This sounds more like a network problem than a virtual box problem.
When I set up my virtual machines I use bridged networking and let DHCP
give out the address it should also tell the virtual machine the route to
the internet.
What IP address are you getting when you have access to the internet,
I was going to reply the same. Set the network to bridged instead of
nat, which the default.

Thanks Bob!!
- I am running VB 7.0
- I accepted all the defaults when installing Ubuntu 20.04lts - that
means DHCP.
- There are no entries in the VP network menu: files->tools->network
manger.
- Guest network: click on guest : right mouse click->settings->network
is set to nat.
- ip is 10.

NAT give me access to the internet, however I cannot reach from my local
net.
Bridged gives me access on my network, however I do not have acces
Thanks Austin!!
I think you might have made this suggestion to me in the past.
My ultimate goal is to pull together some cash and upgrade my hardware.
All my stuff is getting old.
I'd like to build a Proxmox server. I just want to us VB in the interim
which might be a year or two

I've not used vbox under ubuntu in a while, and use it literally all day
every day, and honestly in the 10+ years I've used virtualbox, I've never
found it complicated or broken, so I suspect some pebkac here.
Under ubuntu or arch that I use with vbox, it should create at least a Nat
network and a
Huh. Well, sorry for coming late to the party, but I teach CIS126DL at
GatewayCC, and speaking as a user (NOT as a representative of
Gateway!!!), I say:
The students must install CentOS, Ubuntu, and OpenSuSE on 'a machine'.
they can use a real machine, or they can use VirtualBox or VMWare.

Not only true, but in many cases needlessly entangled. By the way, I'll

I use VirtualBox on my Mac to allow me to use Delphi, a Windows-specific tool.
Perhaps Crossover for Mac would work, but Delphi depends on a whole mess of
Windows dependencies it has accumulated over the years, including .NET
frameworks and some other crap. So it’s easier to just install Windows
I appreciate all your feedback Steve. VirtualBox was supposed to be an
interim step until I could afford a Proxmox machine. I think I will put
Proxmox on the computer that was running Windows and died. I need to
test the hardware... I think Windows got corrupted and the hardware is
fine.
