I recently installed Ubuntu on a VirtualBox VM it installed just fine (much easier than on VirtualPC). However I'm unable to get internet access from the guest OS (ie. Ubuntu). Can anyone give me any pointers on how I might enable this?

The Host OS is Windows Vista and the hardware is an IBM Lenovo.

How did you configure networking when you created the guest? The easiest way is to set the network adapter to NAT, if you don't need to access the vm from another pc.
