Followed the instructions to shutdown and disable Hypervisor, still no joy.

ping 8.8.8.8

Log still shows:

00:00:04.063263 HVP - Hypervisor Present (we're a guest) = 1 (0)

Switched back to static IP and now the programs are dog slow again.
Maybe Oracle VMBox is irredeemable. I'm thinking of exporting my VMs to an industry-standard format and importing them into another VM program, if that's possible.
Or will my demons follow me wherever I go?
Broken record: None of this was a problem a year ago, or three years ago.

Since ping is successful in the VM, then your VM has internet. 8.8.8.8 is Google, so your VM is able to get out onto the internet. This means it's something else preventing internet browsing etc in the VM. Maybe a misconfigured DNS server somewhere? Since Bridged is being used, DNS is coming from your network, not Virtualbox. So I don't think that internet troubles in the VM is a Virtualbox-caused problem.

The mentions of Hypervisors in the log are normal even when Hyper-V is off. Virtualbox is a hypervisor too. :lol:

Try investigating DNS on your network and the VM OS. Also check if IT has put any extra filters on the network.

Note that DNS is only a guess. Something is getting in the way of non-ping communication.
