Yes, please provide more info. You are trying to get internet connection on your "virtual" win7?
How do you get internet connection on your Zorin OS?

Open virtual box (do not load win7), go to "settings" and then to the "network" options and try various options.
Is the box "enable network adapter" ticked?
Open the "attached" options and try NAT or BRIDGED etc.

I may be one of the last people on earth who is pretty sure they've never used Virtual Box and I am already pretty sure I hate it. The real problem is that we are running systems on emulators. In video game world this never happens ("oh, this 7800 game sucks", "well, why not play it on a 7800", "oh, it's so much better, thank you")

I've never seen so many installations have problems on it.

Domine, just pick your OS and be done with it.
