Hi,
I am trying install Debian Buster on the VirtualBox as a guest.

I set the VM to use HostOnly network with DHCP enabled, but when I ran the installer it failed to auto-configure the network.

How do I solve it?

Thank you.

P.S.: I need python 2, therefore trying to use older version.

The guest should use a bridged adapter if wired ethernet. It will get
its own IP address from your DHCP server.

If the host is using Wifi, you cannot use bridged for a guest. You
have to use another type, but I don't recall what it is.

There is one VM:

I run VirtualBox on Debian:

I don't - my host is Gentoo currently for this install.
I am trying to set a guest as Debian Buster.

Thank you.

Could you please check your memory... ;-)

I think you have to use NAT, but it has some limitations. See https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=85927 .

Sorry I don't recall better, it's been about 7 years. A lot has
probably changed since that time.

Host-only network is only useful to allow network communications between
the host and the guest, but not to the outside (local network, internet, etc). It's like an isolated bridge.
You can also put several VMs on this bridge so they can communicate
together.

Do you need internet access on this VM for your python developments ?
Because if not, just download a full version (DVD ?) of the installer
and then do everything offline.

If you need internet, you will have to use NAT, but you got the pointer already.

I will try to use NAT then.

Thank you.

The Debain wiki for VirtualBox was updated. A section was added for
"Guest networking setup" at https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Guest_networking_setup .

Please update it as required so the next person can sidestep the
issues you experienced.
