Re: [SOLVED] Virtualbox Guest Internet Access not working

I posted this reply the first time a week ago, but it seems it never showed up.
The problem with NAT (at least for me) was that the vm machines weren't getting their DNS assigned from Virtualbox's DHCP service. The clients got IP's and routes, they just never got DNS. I suspect it has something to do with Mint now using the resolvconf package instead of using a standard resolv.conf file in /etc. I haven't taken time to confirm that suspicion.
However, the good news was that NAT works just great if I manually set my clients to use a DNS server of 10.0.2.2, the default IP gateway for the Virtualbox NAT.
Hope this helps.
