[Solved] VB does not list network card

Post by Rume »

Hi, my VB does not list my network card when I use Bridge Mode. How I can refresh this list?

I install again the VB but nothing.

Guess: your antivirus is most probably not letting the Bridged filter to be installed. Shut your antivirus down, or even better, uninstall it. Then reinstall VirtualBox.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you go to network settings in the host, select a network adapter and look at the properties, you should find at least one "VirtualBox xxx Bridged Networking Driver" is present and checked in the list of drivers associated with the card. If not then the bridged networking driver is not installed, or you have something other than a network card (e.g. a dialup cellular network modem may not be treated as a NIC by the host OS).

Not a antivirus, I tested this option.

I take it you mean that you installed the driver by clicking on the .inf file, right?
Glad you got it going. Marking as [Solved].
