I've searched all over the net and found an interesting post about it on No internet connection on Virtualbox (Windows 7 as guest, ubuntu 13.04 as host). But unfortunately this did not work for VirtualBox Version 5.0.20 r106931. It worked before but suddenly the Internet stopped working :( I only have eth0 as Bridged Adapter and i used the HWaddr value from ifconfig for the MAC address. Please help... maybe it has something to do with my purging off the "unity" desktop environment and installing the xfce xubuntu desktop environment.

  • You have internet on Ubuntu (host) but not on your Window 7 (guest)? –  Jun 03 '16 at 13:01

    Yes but i just resolved it!! :D I noticed there was a refresh button next to the MAC address field in network settings. i clicked that a few times tried with NAT and then again Bridged adapter, now it works again :D but i still don't understand why i suddenly had lost internet connection. well the nxt time this happens i'll just refresh the MAC address :D – Harry McKenzie Jun 03 '16 at 14:00

  • Internet is lost again after restarting host and refreshing the MAC address did not work anymore :( – Harry McKenzie Jun 06 '16 at 09:49
  • Ok but it works if you refresh it several times and restart several times, that makes no sense. I guess i can live with that... – Harry McKenzie Jun 06 '16 at 09:56

Answer: Click the refresh button next to the MAC address field in network settings' advance options to create a new MAC address. You have to refresh it SEVERAL TIMES! WTF
