Network problem with Win 10

[Lakshithalrc]

I'm using VM 5.2.12 in windows 10 and installed two different XP machines in the VM. Also I have bridge my network adapter. When I tried to connect from through Ethernet in virtual machine It is fine when I plugged the network cable before start the virtual machine. But When I plugged the network cable after starting the virtual machine I can access with physical machine but can't in virtual machines. Can Anyone answer this?

Thanks and Regards.

You will need to refresh the IP addresses from the VMs.

When you start the VMs with the cable unconnected, the VMs do *not* get an IP address. When you connect the cable to the host, there is no notification that you connected the cable for the VMs. So you have to manually update the IPs from within the VMs. There's a ticket I think open for this already.

Can you please give me the link for the ticket.
Thank you for your reply.

Is a search for "connected site:www.virtualbox.org" that much difficult?

Because that's exactly what I did:

• https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/8297 (with the workaround)
• https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/11081 (with another script-based option)
• https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/16631

...plus some more if you search for "docked", where the network comes and goes, just like in your case.
