Vista host networking problem V2.2.2
Posted: 30. Apr 2009, 14:12
I have just tried to upgrade my Virtual box machine to the latest version 2.2.2.
The upgrade appeared to proceed OK and I can start the old virtual machines. But my host networking appears unable
to route packets beyond the local network after rebooting.
1) uninstal the software and reboot and the host network is working.
2) install virtualbox and the host networking still works.
3) reboot and the host network is in local network only mode. (non local ping -> 'general failure')
4) uninstalling and the host network is again functional.
Virtual box installs the host only network ok. The filter driver appears to be installed and added to the nic.The host networking is able to get it's address from the local DHCP server ipfconfig release/renew (so has access to the local network) but any attempt to ping beyond the local network results in a 'general failure'. pings to local network addresses work. Windows Network sharing center indicates that the link beyond the network is unavailable.
Default gateway (ipconfig/route print) and routing (route print) appears to remain correctly configured in the disfunctional state.
Uninstalling virtual box returns to functional network.
Is there something I am missing in the install?
