virtualbox - Virtual box guest (Win 10/Ubuntu minimal) without IP on Ubuntu 18 host



I have traversed multiple tutorials/solutions on how to run win or linux guest on Virtual Box (there are many) but not a single one provided a solution to me.



Host setup




  • Ubuntu 18

  • Virtual Box 5.2.16 r123759


  • connection - wifi interface



Virtual box setup




  • bridged adapter on wifi interface

  • adapter type - pcnet fast III (or Intel pro 1000 desktop)

  • cable connected checked




Guests




  • Win 10 and Ubuntu minimal installation iso files



Both guests expect DHCP will assign them an IP from the network before installing but this does not happen.



Any suggestions where to look for causes of this?




So the cause was that in order to log into the corporate wifi network username and password is needed. I could not provide these before any of the OS was installed so I used wired network in order to proceed with installation process.
