Why Do They Want You To Use Ubuntu Linux!? There Is A Linux Distribution Dedicated For Security Called BackTrack And You Can Download It From Here www.remote-exploit.org

With Respect To The Second Part, Just Use VMware Work Station It Is Better Than The MicroZeft Virtual Machine.. MicroZeft And WinToz SUX Bro

Or The Network Drivers Are Installed In Your Virtual Machine And You Didn't Know How To Configure It..

Type In Your Terminal:
:~$ ifconfig
Then Your Network Interfaces Will Be Listed, The First Network Card Interface Will Be "eth0"

If It Is Found, Here Is How To Configure Your Network (As Root
:~$ ifconfig eth0 up 10.20.30.40 netmask 255.255.255.0
:~$ route add default gw 10.10.30.1
:~$ echo nameserver 10.20.30.1 >> /etc/resolv.conf

Where: 10.20.30.40 Is The IP Address You Want To Put For Your Computer And 10.20.30.1 Is Your Gateway IP Address And The Second One Is Your DNS IP

If You Are Taking Internet Connection From A DHCP Server Simply Type:

:~$ dhclient eth0
Or
:~$ dhcpcd
