virtualbox bridged interface won't connect to internet - virtualbox

I'm trying to connect an ubuntu 12.04 to my local network + internet, i would like it to be directly reachable from the local network, NAT interface don't do it so i tried setting up a bridge (in the virtualbox GUI). But then i can access any other host on the LAN from the guest, but i can't access internet, the DHCP seems to work fine since my guest OS gets an IP in the correct range and with the correct mask. However i can't even ping the router which connect me to the internet (the same machine as the DHCP server).
here's my configuration:
host machine: linux mint debian edition X86-64
guests: win7 64 and ubuntu server 12.04 x86-64 (both have the same issue)
router-gateway-dhcp: livebox from orange ISP
host network interface: wifi usb dongle with chipset RTL8191SU (which works fine for my host)
I know the bridged mode isn't supported by all wireless adapter, but isn't it weird that i can access local network but not the internet?
maybe the problem comes from the gateway itself?
any advice would be very appreciated

In general, there is no problem in using VirtualBox in bridged mode on a laptop. I use it very often and on different platforms, yet it can be related to your network adapter.
Can you try to debug your network by using tcpdump (if familiar) or wireshark? I once had the problem that the mac address got rejected by the router. Can you check if the router is permissive for unauthorized mac addresses or anything alike?

How to create bridged connections in Virtualbox (Windows 10)

I am trying to create a Linux virtual machine hosted in Windows 10 that has a unique IP address from the host. I understand that a bridged connection is required for this but can not find simple instructions for how to accomplish this.
When I change the network settings in Virtualbox to 'Bridged Adapter' and set the Promiscuous mode to 'allow all' the virtual machine cannot connect to the internet. I assume there is something in the Windows host that needs to be done but can not find what that is.

Unable to connect Ubuntu 16.04 Server in VirtualBox (host Windows 10) to internet via bridged wireless adapter

Strange, on work I can normally connect to internet with my Ubuntu 16.04 Server via briged wireless adapter, but at home I can't (when "A start job is running" sequence is over and after I log in to server there is no internet connection). I also tried to connect at friend's place but also result is negative.
Bridging with Lan adapter works perfectly, but I would rather use Wi-fi bridged adapter if I can. NAT or Host-only are not an option. Is it possible that router that my ISP gave me is problem? Any thoughts?
Change the adaptor to wireless, present below Bridged Adapter. And try.

VMware - How to allow IP/Ports access

I red lot of post about this question without find the good answer. The situation is simple, I have a server (Go) running on Ubuntu 14.04 (VMware Workstation 12.1.0 Pro). It listens on the 8001/8002 ports. From the host of the VM (Windows 10), I can access it from the host (Windows 10) but from my Xamarin Application or the others computers, I can't access this server.
I tried lot of things such as port transfer, edit of the NAT propreties (of the VM) and edit of the vmnetnnat.conf file as well. I tested about bridge connection but I didn't find the way to make it works with this way. etc
I also did transfer port from my internet box to get the access by IP instead of private network address (192.168.XXX.XXX) but it didn't works too.
If anyone can help, thank !
By default your Workstation configures your VM in either NAT or Host-only or event in Custom network configuration what means your host computer (you Windows 10) is the only endpoint which can access this box without any additional configuration in your router.
I would suggest you the easiest way is to use "Bridge" configuration what you mentioned below by getting (perhaps DCHP) IP schema from your parent router (the one gives your Windows 10). Thus your VM will be available across your "Home network", Once done, check your ICMP (pings) from Windows 10 to your VM, make sure you can see it.
Second point is that your 8001/8002 ports might be closed by firewall (iptables) in your ubuntu / Windows 10. You probably want to check your both firewalls as your traffic is being routes by "Virtual router" of Workstation.

network access through proxy server with virtualbox

In the company that I work, we have Windows 7 installed on all PCs. We don't have internet access through Windows but can set proxy settings in Firefox and can thus access the Internet.
I installed a virtual box on one of these Windows 7 machines and Ubuntu 14.10 but I have problem with accessing the Internet.
How can I access the Internet through the proxy server via an Ubuntu virtual box running under Windows 7?
you have to make a Network Bridge in Windows (between VBox Host-Only Network and the Controller connected to the Internet)
In Virtualbox you can leave the Adapter at NAT
I´m using this with my debian-vm. Additionally I added the Network-Proxy as system-wide Proxy in my VM.
Good Luck!
I think you can use Bridged network mode on your virtual box. Then assign IP address for you ubuntu to connect to your network, and then use the proxy setting at the ubuntu's internet browser.
you can set the proxy for the console:
$export http_proxy=http://[ipproxy]:[port]
on firefox you can set the proxy in the network settings.
$export http_proxy=http://[ipproxy]:[port]
this is works for me in solaris
network setting is in bridge

How to connect from a VMware guest machine to the server installed on a Windows 7 host machine?

How to connect from a VMware guest (virtual) machine to the server installed on the host (physical) machine? Things like typing "localhost" in the address bar of a browser in a guest machine don't work. My host machine's OS is Windows 7 64 bit with WMware Workstation installed on it, if it matters.
EDIT: The Bridged network connection in combination with referring to 192.168.0.10* from the guest machine did work (replace * with a digit starting from 0 until it works).
If you use "Bridged" Network Connection (see Virtual Machine Settings: Network Adapter), your VM will be given an IP address on the same LAN as your host machine. At that point, you can just HTTP to your host's IP address, eg. http://192.168.0.100
You can also do that with the other options, but with NAT and Host-only (if I recall correctly) your host machine will appear to your guest machine to have a different IP address than its real LAN address. So Bridged is the easiest and is likely your best bet, unless you have some specific needs.
First thing to do: Check that you have the network up and running. Try to ping the host system or any web site from the console of the guest OS, let's say ping www.google.com.
If you received any answers then please try writing the IP number of the host machine in the addressbar of the browser on the guest machine (NOT localhost :P). You should be able to see any web service running (Tip: Open the console of your windows 7 and type ipconfig, then find the ethernet adapter corresponding to VMWare and you'll find the IP number of your host system).
If you didn't received any answer at all when you did ping then check the network configuration of VMWare to use Bridged Connection --at least that's how it works for me.
Good luck!
In a guest machine, localhost refers to the virtual machine itself. Refer to the host just as you would from any other machine: by its IP address.
Note that it may be using a second "virtual" network adapter to communicate with the guest. Check the VMware to find out, and to find the second IP address.
Just use the same IP sub net for your VMware machine, if your windows system has ip address class C 192.168.0.10 So assign 192.168.0.120 IP to your Vmware machine and make sure that Firewall allow the traffic in vmware and also add the listener port manually in vm machine. go to system - administration- firwal-add port 1521.
