  • I literally set it to false myself while trying to choose the IP myself and also nameservers and I was troubleshooting for nothing for like 4hrs. I almost died before following your video by faith.

  • At the last point, I am not getting the ip address for enp0s8 . I get `link`, `inet6`, but no `inet` which should have the ip address. any advice ?

  • wtf. our teacher just copy this video to us I guess. thanks mate.

  • Awesome. I am still searching for a cluster of VMs with static IPs (Cassandra), and yet let them out to the Internet. The Host still needs to connect to them, and that seems to be the rub.

    Thanks for the video, and one for NetworkManager would be nice for us on newer systems.

  • Nicee video! Now I'm having problems assigning a static IP in the VM on the host-only adapter. I have the following configuration /etc/netplan/.yml file :

    network:

    version: 2

    renderer: networkd

    ethernet:

    enp0s3:

    dhcp4: true

    enp0s8:

    dhcp4: false

    addresses: [192.168.56.101/24]

    gateway4: 192.168.56.1

    nameservers:

    addresses: [8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4]

    where enp0s3 is the NAT interface and enp0s8 the host-only network interface. DHCP server is disabled on the host. I have connectivity with the host machine but I don't have internet connection. Can somebody help me?

  • SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER SUPER THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Why nothing of this works for me? I reinstalled Ubuntu Server a dozen of times, always working on a fresh install. Following every single details carefully and then.. as I was about to send this comment, I saw that I didn't had DHCP server enabled in VirtualBox. Took me a day and a half. Dead serious. ^^ Thanks for your video man!

  • Hello, How we will do the same foe RHEL and on VMWARE? Actually I'm having a problem in the adapter, When I change it to DHCP Automatic it doesnot connect? Why? What's the solution?

  • You help me a lot for a school project thanks! I didn't know about the host only network.
