internet connection lost after installing guest additions in virtualbox

[Karl Siebertz]

Netrunner seems to be a nice disto which I would like to explore further.
However, I lost the internet connection in the virtualbox after installing the guest additions.

host System: Suse 11.2
Virtualbox (recent version), no trouble with internet connection of other guest systems
(win XP, Fedora, Mint, Sabayon, Haiku, Reactos)
selected guest machine: Ubuntu

The installation of the guest addition was painless and everthing else works.
This is exceptionally good, compared to other Linux distros,
where kernel updates failed etc. .

Really to only drawback is the lost internet connection,
which is a knock out, because I cannot download further packages.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Update:
Problem seems to be resolved after a few reboots.
Great distro! my recommendation for Linux in a virtualbox.
