The Debain wiki for VirtualBox was updated. A section was added for "Guest networking setup" at https://wiki.debian.org/VirtualBox#Guest_networking_setup . Please update it as required so the next person can sidestep the issues you experienced. Jeff

I set the VM to use HostOnly network with DHCP enabled, but when I ran the installer it failed to auto-configure the network. How do I solve it? Thank you. P.S.: I need python 2, therefore trying to use older version. Host-only network is only useful to allow network communications between the host and the guest, but not to the outside (local network, internet, etc). It's like an isolated bridge. You can also put several VMs on this bridge so they can communicate together. Do you need internet access on this VM for your python developments ? Because if not, just download a full version (DVD ?) of the installer and then do everything offline. If you need internet, you will have to use NAT, but you got the pointer already.

See https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?t=85927 . Sorry I don't recall better, it's been about 7 years. A lot has probably changed since that time. Jeff

The guest should use a bridged adapter if wired ethernet. It will get its own IP address from your DHCP server. If the host is using Wifi, you cannot use bridged for a guest. You have to use another type, but I don't recall what it is. Jeff
