Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! Could you please [edit] your question to include the output of the terminal command lspci -nnk | awk -v n='[0200]' 'p&&/^\S/{p=0}!p{p=index($0,n)}p'; LC_MESSAGES=POSIX nmcli dev show (guest system) and a screenshot of the VM’s virtual network configuration (host system)? Thanks. — David Foerster, Sep 14 '18 at 08:11

I solved the problem by command nmcli network on. Thanks!

I had the same problem and that command solved it. But this leaves me with the question: What exactly is nmcli and what was the core of the problem? – thomaskonrad Dec 10 '18 at 13:13

Felt the same way as @thomaskonrad and expanded the post just a touch. – Michael Kargl Jan 17 '21 at 13:47

May be trivial, but I had to run 'nmcli network off' and then 'nmcli network on', to get it working. – hgaronfolo Feb 24 '21 at 09:06
