I've reviewed topics with similar errors but have been unable to resolve my issue, which is that I cannot get my VMs to work with host only adapter on Windows 10.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling both virtual box and the adapter numerous times but every time I wish to run my vbox files they cannot receive an IP address and have 169.254.x.x assigned.
I have no issues running in NAT.
On running the following I see that DHCP is disabled despite being enabled within the settings.
Code: Select all
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox>vboxmanage list hostonlyifs

Can anyone give me a couple of pointers.
