Not all adapters show IP address

[rf28723]

Windows 10
Virtualbox 6.0.6 & 6.0.6 extentions & 6.0.6. guest additions

My guest VMs have 3 network adapters. When hovering over the network icon, it shows all 3 adapters, but only adapter 1 gets its IP address properly populated, adapter 2 and 3 do not show the assigned IP addrress.

Anyone seeing this ?
Any solutions ?

Thanks

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run, where the problem occurs:

• Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
• With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
• Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.

Here are the files for my Solaris 11.3 guest showing the problem.

So, we're talking about "Adapter 3" not showing its IP, because "Adapter 1" is shown correctly as 10.0.2.15, and "Adapter 2" is shown correctly as "<null>", because you don't have an IP to begin with.

The GAs are correctly installed:

00:00:37.701132 VMMDev: Guest Additions information report: Version 6.0.6 r130049 '6.0.6'

but you did what seems to be a plague lately; you downloaded them separately!

00:00:03.481885 File system of 'D:\VMBOX_machines\VBoxGuestAdditions_6.0.6.iso' (DVD) is ntfs

DON'T!!! They *do* come bundled with the main program! Read the User Manual instead of a random blog next time please...

All my VMs have 4 NICs; HostOnly, Internal, NATservice, Bridged. It seems that the Solaris GAs do not support all the networking options. From the host what I get for a Solaris 11 guest, is:

$ VBoxManage guestproperty enumerate "Solaris 11" | sort | grep -i net
Name: /VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/0/V4/Broadcast, value: 0.0.0.0, timestamp: 1555759066452285000, flags:

Only one NIC, and that's wrong!

The same command for a Win7 guest, gives you:

All the NICs, correct IPs, just as I mentioned are shown in the tooltip.

Hi Socratis,

Sorry, didn't know you were going to get angry with me ;-P
Never registered that the VBOX distro comes with the guest additions in the same directory, noted. I have corrected the situation. Do you want a new log with that ?
I have moved to 4 interfaces too, same setup as you: Host-only, Internal, NAT and Bridged.
Now my Solaris IPs look like this:

ADDROBJ TYPE STATE ADDR
lo0/v4 static ok 127.0.0.1/8
net0/v4 dhcp ok 192.168.224.121/24
net1/v4 dhcp ok ?
net2/v4 dhcp ok 10.0.4.15/24
net3/v4 dhcp ok 192.168.24.155/24

Still, the tooltip popup window shows only 1 IP addresss, for Adapter 1. It appears to only fill Adapter 1 IP address.
When looking with "vboxmanage guestproperty get <guest> "/VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/[0-3] /V4/IP I get :

Value: 192.168.224.121
Value: 0.0.0.0
No value set!
No value set!

So, only adapter 1 and 2 (net0 and net1) return an address for S11.3 guest.
Oracle Linux 7 Guest works fine.
Will report later on S11.4 guest.

You need any new logs ?

Tested with S11.4 , works fine. I guess we can put the matter to sleep.
