eth0 internet network connection on virtualbox

(1/4) > >>

core:
Hi,

I'm trying to get an internet connection with Tinycore. I have a computer with ubuntu 10.04 as host connected by a wireless usb adapter. I have Tinycore 2.11 installed in virtualbox ose. I can't seem to get a connection though. I tried lubuntu 10.04 and it could not connect wirelessly. After installing lubuntu in virtualbox, I was able to connect using the ethernet connection through the virtual machine. I was thinking that I might be able to do that with Tinycore as well, and that it would be easier than trying to get the wireless modules working. However, every time I try to connect in the App Browser, I get "Connection error, check network or mirror."

After looking through many threads here, I tried the dmesg command and found these lines:

eth0: registered as PCnet/FAST III 79C973
...
eth0: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex


Can anyone help?  :)

The dmesg responses look correct and indicate that the interface is up and active.  what are the results of ifconfig?

core:
Here's the results of ifconfig. (I had to type it all; I hope it's correct.)

ifconfig output looks good as well.  have you tried pinging the gateway or other boxes on the network or internet?

core:
I looked at the network tool in the "panel" and it has no IP, Broadcast, or Gateway addresses filled in. I tried pinging www.google.com and it failed. I tried pinging the wireless router (the connection underneath the virtual machine) and it appeared to work (20 packets - 4% loss) though it just kept giving results. I had to kill it with ^C. (Is that normal? I don't have to stop the ping command on Windows XP.)
