Jun 22, 2018 - Today, I had a very annoying problem with VirtualBox: network hardly ever works, but sometimes it works and I can't know why It's very. Feb 04, 2018 Today, I was playing around with vmrun, trying to see if I could use it to suspend the Ubuntu guest. Suspend and Start both seemed to work fine, except that when the guest came back up, it had lost the ability to connect to the network, Running ping from a command-line in the guest returns 'connect: Network is unreachable'.

EDIT NOTE: Original subject was incorrect. Replaced 'WAN' with 'Wireless LAN' For Solution see post #8 Running Ubuntu server 14.04 and experiencing network problem. I have it on a PC that is connecting to Wireless LAN. All goes well during install, tests and connects with no issue.
But once I get on it after installation is done and I try to ping my result is.connect: network is unreachable. Not sure where to begin with this. Does a driver need to be installed for it to work properly? My ISP is verizon Fios, Modem/Router is Actiontec MI424WR. I think there's a problem with terminology. WAN = wide area network.
This is the 'internet', where your machine has a public IP that anybody in the world can access. LAN = local area network.
This is the 'intranet', where your machine has a private IP that only other machines on the LAN can connect to. You're 'protected' by the firewall in the router. You can still access the internet, but the internet can't access you unless you let it. It sounds like you're trying to use wireless/wifi. This is not 'WAN', it's simply a 'wireless LAN'. Are you using the GUI or CLI on your machine? I think there's a problem with terminology.
