Failed to create host only network interface Virtualbox

Post by siva1983 »

Hi All,

I am using 5.2.8 version of Virtualbox in my Windows 10 laptop. I tried to create a host only network with three VMs but i am getting an error "failed to create host only network interface virtualbox". I tried uninstalling and reinstalling virtualbox (rebooting before and after installation) several times but getting the same error. Please help me in solving this issue and let me know if I am missing anything here. I researched several forums for solutions but no luck. I am using the option Global tools-> Host only network configuration.

Thanks in advance for your responses.

Regards,
Sivakumar K

Try the newly released 5.2.10.

If that doesn't work, uninstall any 3rd party antivirus. First try to disable them and then uninstall them if that doesn't work.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
