Both are 64-bit versions and set up for DHCP. Both of the guest machines are now running but neither will connect to the internet.

When I ping on the linux guest, the response on the command line is “network is unreachable.” The virtual box says “Failed to attach the USB device Belkin USB-C LAN [3000] to the virtual machine CentOS Linux. Details: Failed to create a proxy device for the USB device….”

Then, when I carried the laptop to the Trilug meeting at NCSU, the installation started again on its own and I was able to finish the installation. However, back at home, the Windows guest no longer will connect to the internet. I tried to use one of my static ip addresses on the Windows guest, but it would not accept it. I tried looking at the logs but found nothing that seemed to help. 

> I tried both NAT and Bridged adapter options for the virtual box with no success. Both used the Intel Pro/1000 Adapter. Some suggest I should be using the PCnet-FAST III adapter but I don’t find where that is an option. I also tried a cable connection but that did not work.

> In VM tools, the adapter IPv4 address is 192.168.56.1 and the DHCP Server is 182.168.56.100, The adapter could not be configured automatically.
