Try this: Setup the virtualbox to use 2 adapters: The first adapter is set to NAT (that will give you the internet connection). The second adapter is set to host only.

Here are some things to try (all of these changes must be done when the VM is powered down): •Give the VM more memory (RAM) to work with. I bumped mine up from ~1gb to 4gb. Right click the VM icon, Settings -> System -> Motherboard tab, move the Base Memory slider bar to give … Read more
