Nat Network - no tcp connections; udp and icmp (ping) work alright

Trdp · Post by **Trdp** » 7. May 2022, 18:54

It's a linux 32bit guest on a windows 10 pro 64bit host. The problem is that after the guest has booted up, it can load web pages, telnet to external hosts etc only for some time (like 4 hours) after which the guest fails to make any tcp connections although ping and udp work alright. Restarting the guest from within the guest does not resolve the issue, but turning it off and starting again from virtualbox resolve the issue for another almost similar amount of time. As one might expect, restarting the nat network using vboxmanage.exe utility similarly resolves the issue - clearly an issue with NAT network is indicated.

My dns is configured alright. In fact, I am trying to load the 1.1.1.3 page with its ip address and not hostname.

Edit 1:
I could finally have the VM down and grab some logs. As I cannot attach all of them due to size and other restrictions, I put them on my google drive and I am sharing the link to that: drive[.]google[.]com/file/d/1V-5YTHcfOcWfxR0DubRJAW4aehCwrITm/view?usp=sharing
As I cannot even share proper links, I am putting some relevant sections of some logs with their line numbers:
vBoxSVC.log

During the last moments of the VM life in this log, the NAT Network was not allowing any tcp connections although udp and ping were fine.

As before, the VM didn't have any outbound tcp capability during its end life.

Edit 2:
As I research more into this issue, I find that there are actually 3 numbers of processes with identical names running. These are:

Interestingly, I have 3 total vms, 2 of which are not running.

Moreover, in the SVC.log, I can see the VBoxNetNat.exe and VBoxNetDHCP.exe terminating and restarting with different pids each time. I understand they might not be related to this issue, and although I am yet to establish a direct correlation with the proceses terminating and the issue beginning, I hight suspect this is indeed the case.

Zipped logs fit, and the zips can be posted using the forum's Upload Attachment tab on the first day first post.

This keep spammers from overloading us on their first posts. Since the Upload Attachment tab is available from the first day first post, no one needs to post links.

*******************************
I'm not entirely certain where to start troubleshooting this one, especially since ping and udp keep working, This would seem to indicate that the underlying NAT Network hardware is working, and the VM's OS has a glitch. Note that restarting the NAT Network system may simply be telling the OS to restart something, so I'm not yet certain if NAT Network is the source of the problem yet (especially since ping is still possible).

You could attach another VM to the same NAT network, install a typical Linux, like Ubuntu or Mint, and see if that VM's network stays up while the old VM's network has trouble. If the new VM remains properly connected, this would point to a problem in the old VM's OS instead of NAT Network or Virtualbox.

You cold also make a new NAT Network, make no changes to its setup, add a new VM to it, and see if it stays up or goes down when the old VM's network suffers.

Trdp wrote:I have 3 total vms, 2 of which are not running.

Does this mean you only have one VM running at a time? Or that the other two have died? Or that one VM remains connected while the other two have connection issues (and if so, is it always the same 2)?
