It is probably proxy settings, firstly make sure the network adaptor in the VM settings is set to NAT, so that it uses you underling machine network address. Then go into Network Manager and set up the proxy settings, you will also need to set these in the web browser, and separately for apt-get Look in your windows OS browser for the Proxy settings and copy these across to the Ubuntu VM settings. When done you will have something like this: /etc/environment http_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:80/" https_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:443/" ftp_proxy="http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:80/" no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com" HTTP_PROXY="http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:80/" HTTPS_PROXY="http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:443/" FTP_PROXY="http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:80/" NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1,localaddress,.localdomain.com" proxies in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/95proxies Acquire::http::proxy "http://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:80/"; Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:80/"; Acquire::https::proxy "https://<username>:<password>@<proxyserver>:443/"; If you dont need a password then leave out the <username>:<password>@ bits Stuart -- Stuart Ward M +44 7782325143
