    I set up Ubuntu Server using Virtualbox. Everything is working fine but the ip address assigned to the machine is 10.0.2.15. I need to port forward my Virgin Media Hub but in the settings it will only allow me port forward with addresses that begin 192.168.0. Is it an easy process to change the ip address of the Ubuntu machine?? Any advice would be appreciated

    This is nothing to do with virgin and everything to do with your vm config. Look at your virtual network settings, there are several different modes which are appropriate for different situations.

    An easy fix by changing the Network settings in Virtualbox from NAT to Bridged mode.:)
