Same problem. Using Mint. No VM involved.
Switched from Windows to Linux just a few days ago.
This occurred two times in three days now.
Never did anything network related, so all my settings should be the default ones.

Title:
Avahi-daemon withdraws address record
Status in avahi package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
For some reason, if I leave my Ubuntu VM up for a prolonged period of
time the machine will lose connection to the network. ip addr shows
that the nic port no longer has an address and an examination of the
syslog shows this:
May 27 14:19:38 matt-VirtualBox avahi-daemon[590]: Withdrawing address record for 10.0.2.15 on enp0s3.
May 27 14:19:38 matt-VirtualBox avahi-daemon[590]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface enp0s3.IPv4 with address 10.0.2.15.
May 27 14:19:38 matt-VirtualBox avahi-daemon[590]: Interface enp0s3.IPv4 no longer relevant for mDNS.
for no known reason.
The only reliable way to get the network to come back (that I have
found) is a full reboot.
