I recently installed Ubuntu on a VirtualBox VM it installed just fine (much easier than on VirtualPC). However I'm unable to get internet access from the guest OS (ie. Ubuntu). Can anyone give me any pointers on how I might enable this?
The Host OS is Windows Vista and the hardware is an IBM Lenovo.

This is because VirtualBox by default does not support Wi-Fi connectivity unless the users have a USB Wi-Fi adapter installed. However, as a workaround, you can bridge to a Wi-Fi network card on the host. In this article, we discuss how to enable Wi-Fi on VirtualBox to access the Internet on your virtual machine.
Right-click the network connection and go under Sharing. Allow the sharing and choose the NAT Network from the drop-down. Now, on VMWare, go to the settings of Virtual Machine. Under Network, choose Custom Network and select the same NAT connection.
How did you configure networking when you created the guest? The easiest way is to set the network adapter to NAT, if you don't need to access the vm from another pc.
