I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 under VirtualBox 4.3.20 on a Windows 8.1 host. I can't get any internet access over WiFi (and I can't get an Ethernet connection anywhere near the computer). All of the help I can find when I Google this problem either a) tells me to change Windows 7 settings that I can't find in Windows 8.1, or b) tells me to sudo apt-get install something, which doesn't work because I have no internet connection.

Can somebody tell me in easy steps (I don't really know Linux, and I certainly don't know networking) how to get the internet connection working?

Thanks.

What Virtualbox actually does is share the internet connection of your host (Windows 8.1), with your guest (Ubuntu 14.04). Your guest should be able to detect the wireless internet connection of your host as ethernet connection.

You can check http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html for more information about how to set this up.
