Nat networking in Virtual Box for Windows 7 host and Ubuntu 16.04 not working all of a sudden - windows

I had installed virtualbox on Windows 7 host. Additionally I installed an Ubuntu 16.04 32 bit VM guest. For the network adapter I chose attach to Nat Network. I'm also behind a proxy. Up to last week I had internet connection via the VM. Unfortunately when I checked today I couldn't connect to the internet any more. When I ping the google DNS server 8.8.8.8 I also got Destination Host Unreachable.
I update the Virtualbox to its latest version but no success. In Virtualbox forum I found that I should add Google Dns servers 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 but the internet access could not be retrieved.Has anyone any idea why this may have happened?

Check extension pack is installed and latest version. Check guest additions in ubuntu are installed and latest version.

Minishift on OSX not accessible from local network

I'm running minishift on OSX (tried both xhyve and virtualbox). All good, console and pods accessible from host. However cannot connect anything from local network. BTW, for regular Linux VM I configure interfaces and a bridged adapter and all is good... no idea how to do the same for minishift vm (boot2docker).

BSoD on vagrant up (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED) - Windows 8

I have a problem with Vagrant, trying to initialize a virtualbox with laravel/homestead box.
I have installed latest version of Vagrant (1.7.4) on my Windows 8 OS.
I have installed Oracle VirtualBox 5.5.0.
Then I did this in windows Command Prompt:
vagrant add box laravel/homestead to add the laravel homestead box
vagrant init laravel/homestead
and
vagrant up
After vagrant up somewhere in the process the system fails with BSoD (KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED)
Any ideas of what i could have done wrong, or have anybody experienced this problem?
Thank you!
Make sure you don't have Hyper-V windows resource active.
If you had installed Docker before check this, coz Docker needs Hyper-V.
In my case this works for me
Search for "Windows resource" on your windows start menu, and click on Enable or Disable windows resources, find Hyper-V, uncheck all checkboxes and OK. Restart your machine after this.

I had almost same issue(BSOD gave error SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION).
Yesterday I installed Docker on Windows 10 and today I tried to "vagrant up"(using VirtualBox Provisioner) and got the BSOD. Hyper-V was conflicting and I turned it off from "Windows Features" and the issue got resolved.

Installing Cloudera CDH5 using cloudera manager in ubuntu 12.04 LTS

I am trying to install CDH5 using Cloudera Manager in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (64bit). I was following the steps mentioned in the Cloudera link. I was not able to specify the correct host name for installing the CDH5. I dont have any other entries except for 127.0.0.1 & 127.0.1.1 in the /etc/hosts file.
I am using USB dongle for accessing internet and I dont have any ethernet connection right now. Please let me know whether I need to have an ethernet connection to install CDH5 in my PC.
P.S. I am currently working as a mainframe developer and do not have any linux or open source background. I spent almost 40 hours of time trying to install the CDH5 in my machine so that I can work on the exercises in the Udacity's Introduction to Hadoop Course.My PC runs on a Intel Dual core processor which doesn't support the virtualisation to use VMWARE. Hence I got no other options but to install CDH5 in a dual boot partition of ubuntu. Kindly guide me proceeding further.
if you are using Windows-7 64-bit, then get VMWare Player installed.
get centOS-6.3 32-bit vmware-image. It will be able to run on your 64-bit Windows.
And from cloudera site, download a cdh5.repo file. Install CDH5 from that repos file...its very simple.

Guest machine (Windows XP) can't ping host (Windows 7) and Guest machine (Ubuntu 12.04)

I want to create small virtual network. I am using VMWare Workstation 10. First I installed Guest Ubuntu machine and I could ping from host to that Guest Machine. But when I installed Windows XP as a new Guest machine, new Windows XP Guest could not ping any IP address (host on Windows 7 and Guest on Ubuntu 12.04). To get fresh gateway I created new Virtual Gateway for Guest XP
Here is screenshot of VMWare Virtual Network Editor:
And here is output when I ping gateway of Host (Windows 7)
Can someone tells me why I can't ping from Guest Windows XP machine and how to fix it ?
Regards...
It's probably that Windows, by default, blocks ping requests. You will have to open up a hole in your firewall.
You are not using workstation pro. In the normal.worstation is no option to run the systems at the same time, so probably by switching you suspend the guest - you have to open two worstations.

Accessing machine through wifi

I have one computer running ubuntu operating system. It is having a wifi router connected to it. I have other laptop which runs windows 7 operating system.
Is there a way to access the ubuntu machine from windows machine through wifi and vice versa ?
You can use TeamViewer in both windows and linux. It will give you full control of the remote machine but I'm not sure if you can do file transfering...
For file transferring, connecting from windows to linux I would use winSCP, which access files through ssh, so you would have to install an run sshd on your linux box. If you haven't sshd in your ubuntu box, install it by doing $ sudo apt-get install ssh. You can start ssh daemon in ubuntu 11.10 with the command $ sudo service ssh start. From linux (Ubuntu 11.10) to windows (w7), I have successfully got into w7 machines in my local network by exploring the Network section in the left bar of the nautilus explorer. Sometimes, for some folders it would ask me for credentials to log into the remote machine, and file transferring was as simple as doing copy and paste (Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v)
hope to be helpful! good luck!
VNC is good for remote work on both Windows and Linux. You'll need to install VNC on Windows but I believe it comes by default with Ubuntu. You need to configure one to be the server and then you can use a client from the other machine to connect to it and remotely control the server machine.
Here are some resources for VNC in Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC
And I use TightVNC when I'm working on Windows (server and client included in the install).
Install XRDP on Ubuntu.
on windows then run msrtc -v
if over the internet , I say use
https://www.dwservice.net/en/download.html
free and lot better than teamviwer.
