[SOLVED] Virtualbox, Windows 7 guest no network

I imported an already created machine in virtualbox (Window 7 pro) and I am unable to have a usable network connection. Here are the packages I installed for virtualbox:

     yay -Ss virtualbox | grep Installed                                         
     aur/virtualbox-ext-oracle 6.0.4-1 (+1263 9.18%) (Installed)
     community/virtualbox-host-modules-arch 6.0.4-16 (161.8 KiB 159.0 KiB) (Installed)
     community/virtualbox 6.0.4-4 (61.6 MiB 176.9 MiB) (Installed)
     community/libvirt 5.1.0-1 (7.2 MiB 42.8 MiB) (Installed)

I am in a network where I can get a dhcp adress and my connection is managed by NetworkManager, I tried to configure both by Nat or by bridge the network connection of my guest but without success. Any idea on how to gather information in order to find out what is the problem?

Always check the ip configuration of your guest before doing everything else. My guest had a static ip.
