I can't create an internal network for my virtual machine.

I'm having the same problem with NAT.

It happens with VirtualBox 4.1, 4.2, and 4.3. The distribution is CentOS 6.5.

It turns out this is a problem with the bridged adapter. I misinterpreted the error message, NAT and host only seem to work fine.

You have not defined the Bridged Interface name. Typically eth0, Etc.

[Frank Mehnert]

Right, the interface name is missing.
