bridged network timing out after sometime
bridged network timing out after sometime
hey I have a host OS (windows 11), and guest OS (ubuntu), via bridged connection I can now ping from host to guest and guest to host, but after sometime; I can connect.... does anyone else have a problem like that? To resolve this, I often have to restart the Guest OS, its not convenient, is there a way around this?

Re: bridged network timing out after sometime
Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state.
1. While the network is working correctly:
Copy and save the outputs of these commands:
on the host: ipconfig /all
in the VM: ifconfig or ip address
2. Run until you see the problem happen. Then copy and save the same commands again:
on the host: ipconfig /all
in the VM: ifconfig or ip address
3. Shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.
Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. In the "Logs" subfolder, zip the VM's "vbox.log", and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions so you can find the "vbox.log", not "vbox.log.1", etc.)
Also post both sets of command outputs, both working and failed. Label which is which.
