Not able to connect using static IP on guest OS

0

I have installed Oracle Linux on a virtual box, the host is Windows 8.

When I enable static IP configuration on the guest OS which is Oracle Linux, I am not able to connect to the internet. My network settings are as shown in the enclosed screenshot. When I switch to Automatic DHCP, I am able to connect to the internet.

How can I resolve the issue?

1You need to switch the interface to Bridge mode in VirtualBox. You probably have it set it NAT mode and VirtualBox is handing out the DHCP address. – Appleoddity – 2017-09-16T16:21:04.557
