It sounds like networking hasn't been configured inside your debian guest. If you want to configure the network with a static ip address, read the interfaces(5) manual page by typing man interfaces (what you'd type in German could be different), at the command prompt inside your guest, and follow the instructions there. If you want your networking to be configured via dhcp, (probably the easiest way, if your network has a dhcp server), then as root, install a dhcp client, by typing apt-get install dhcpcd at the command/shell prompt, and ideally, consult the interfaces(5) man page on how to setup your system to configure the network using dhcp. If you have the following in /etc/network/interfaces, it should work for you: auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp Note that I gave eth1 above, and not eth0, because if running debian/ubuntu guests in virtualbox using udev, the first network interface tends to be configured as eth1, and not as eth0. > > When i run "ipconfig" on debian it get "-bash: ipconfig: command not > found". That's because you're using a windows command, and it's not the same as in debian. The right command is ifconfig. > > When i run "route -n" i get "Destination Gateway Genmask Falgs Metric > Ref Use Iface" but nothing more. Yup, I'd say it looks like your network isn't configured.
