I have used Virtual Box on my system before and was able to access the internet. I just reinstalled Virtual Box and installed XP inside it. I cannot access the internet from within.
When I look in the device manager under network adapters, it is showing "VMWare Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter." It says the device cannot start.

I found the solution. I right-clicked on the network card in the device manager and two cards showed up. I selected the other card and it worked.

Have you rebooted your physical machine? Sometimes after a reinstall of VBox, the OS needs to restart the appropriate drivers and/or virtual devices (in this case, I think VBox uses a virtual networking card which needs to be restarted).

1Rebooting didn't change anything. – Phenom – 2010-07-16T20:56:31.563
1Ditto for me, rebooted lots of times but didn't change anything. – funroll – 2014-02-26T15:14:08.077
@Phenom, What do you mean by "card"? Do you mean "Settings >> Network >> Adapter"? – Pacerier – 2015-09-03T05:06:14.043
Glad you found the solution. Don't forget to mark your own post as the accepted answer! – nhinkle – 2010-07-17T22:54:43.843
This solved my problem. In my case I changed the adapter type to "Paravirtualized Network (virtio-net)". Also I'm using this with Ubuntu. But the problem did seem to be resolved by changing the "Adapter Type". – funroll – 2014-02-26T15:13:33.780
