[ubuntu-uk] Ubuntu guest in Virtual Box lost networking

[David King]

UPDATE:

I was very busy and did not get round to viewing your online info, I 
will try to read it some time (thanks for posting).
But, when I went into VirtualBox and ran the Ubuntu 10.04 virtual 
machine again, it worked with the normal wired ethernet connection and 
its 2 arrows logo showing again. When it was not working, it was showing 
what I presume to be the wifi logo, even though I have no wifi hardware 
on this PC.
