Running macchanger in Kali Linux VM Disables Network Connection

Below is my version of kali which is a vm running on VBox 5.2.22:

Linux kali 4.18.0-kali2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.18.10-2kali1 (2018-10-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux

As the title says, after changing my mac address my network disconnects and I can't reconnect to the network.

Before executing a pen test I'd like to spoof my address (I know there are other things that has to be done but spoofing my mac address has been giving me issues).

I have looked at a couple of articles as to why my internet connection cuts after I change my mac address here and here but to no avail do those work.

I have read that the setting on Network at the top right overrides the mac spoofing command in the terminal.

I have tried setting the cloned address to the new mac address below:

enter image description here

Did a network restart and still nothing. Has anyone been successful at changing the mac address on a Kali VM running on virtualbox?

Can this not be done in a VM?

Can you provide the steps you took to 'spoof' your mac address? Perhaps something is going wrong with your method.

Hey Michael. Yes, I actually seen that article including the others in the link provided. I had trouble downloading the zip file as well from the kali forums. As for what commands I was running: ifconfig eth0 down>macchanger -r eth0>ifconfig eth0 up. Also tried a combination of things with network manager but to no avail.

I'm wondering if I will just have to dual boot kali onto my laptop and then test to see if it works rather than going the vm route.

Tried what you suggested on going to VBox network settings and it works. It makes sense that that's the only way that it would work.
