[ModEdit; related ticket: #17354: Can't setup Host-Only Network Adapter on Windows 10 Client]
Hi,
This is my first post on the forum, I tried to lookup first for this particular issue I'm experiencing but I didn't find anything similar.
So, here's what has causing me headaches for the last couple of days. I can't set the configuration for VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter, every time I set the IP, mask values immediately after apply the changes, changes are gone, never updated.
-I'm using VirtualBox Version 5.2.0 r118431 (Qt5.6.2) for Windows
-I have Windows 10 Pro running on a Dell Precision, 16GB RAM, 64-bit, core i7 vPro
-I'm trying to host a Linux VM that contains some web application, so I can access them via u.r.l. , this is a RedHat VM
What happens is, the very first time I Installed Vbox on my machine, I went to to check the Global tools->Host Netwok Manager, I realized that a new Host-Only Adapter was already created, and actually can be seen within Network Connections, the DHCP server information was already pre-populated, I followed the same network and set my values for the host-only adapter

Once I click on apply then VBox returns the values to zeroes.

After this I tried a lot of things to make the Host-Only adapter work
- I had 3 VM, I remove 2 of them and test 1 with one
- Remove all single VMs and try to set the values
-Try to set the values using TCP/IP v4 properties in the actual Network device on Windows' Network connections
- Uninstall VBox, install a older version (VirtualBox-5.1.28-117968)
- Reinstall VBox using Admin option
- Uninstall VBox, delete completely .VirtualBox folder, reboot the machine, then reinstall VBox as: user and admin
- Delete all the Devices using the GUI and create the device using VBoxManage hostonlyif create
None of the above options mentioned worked. Then I had to go digging more on logs, I learned how to do this and upon installing once more, I put attention the very first time I try to create the Host-Only Adapter, then this is when I find this:
At his point I tried slight changes like using a different network (not 56) or even setting the values manually on VirtualBox.xml
None of my options did work.
So here I am trying to see if the community has any idea of what is happening?
Thanks in advance
In addition 2 co-workers managed to complete the setup and have the same VM, with the same VBox version up and running with a correct Host-Only adapter settings, as described on the images, they have same Laptop model as I have. I can't post U.R.L.s just yet, I need to wait 1 day and have 1 post according to the rules.
