I have Ubuntu 13.10 Desktop as host and Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server as guest. On guest OS VirtualBox setting I have setup 3 adapter, the first is connected to NAT, the 2nd to Host-Only, and the 3rd to internal network because I planned to add another guest. The problem is in Ubuntu 12.04.3 Server (the guest OS) the only adapter available is eth0, how do I configure eth1, eth2, and so on?

With VMWorkstation, I needed to:
- Add the virtual adapter(s) via the main VM Network Editor, with DHCP enabled.
- Remove and reinstall Ubuntu Server for it to recognize the additional adapter(s)
- The DHCP configuration is saved in the
/etc/network/interfaces
configuration file, but the file is read only. Modify attributes on file to make it read write. (chmod 666 <filename>
) The edit the etc/network/interfaces file to add the additional interface(s) to use DHCP:
auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp
Issue the
sudo service networking restart
command to re-enable the network interfaces.
