I've recently downloaded Android x86 (Android 4.0) and installed it in VirtualBox using using android-x86-4.0-RC1-eeepc.iso. Everything is working fine except the Internet connection. I've tried searching for a solution but none of them works for me.

I'm using a Samsung notebook with a wireless connection on Ubuntu 11.10.

Here's a screenshot of the network settings of the VirtualBox:

I've even tried with NAT, but it still dosen't work.

Don't know much about android but your wifi connection will only work from VB if it is connected via USB – BJ292 May 4 '12 at 19:27
@BJ292 I've used similar settings for windows 7 in virtualbox and it works, not sure whats wrong with android settings. – Searock May 5 '12 at 6:14
There is a made for VBox version here that seems to work: addictivetips.com/windows-tips/… - I notice in VBox that networking is configured for port forwarding and in Android it shows Internet Not Connected but works anyway. – BJ292 May 5 '12 at 10:01

There is one made for VirtualBox that seems to work, see How To Run Android 4.0 ICS On Windows, Mac & Linux Using VirtualBox. I notice in VirtualBox that networking is configured for port forwarding and in Android it shows

Internet Not Connected

but it works anyway.
