No Network

[Chyr0]

Hello VirtualBox-Forum,

i just installed(for the second time) a new Linux Mint 20.3 on a new Intel NUC 11 (NUC11PAHi5) and tried to get my virtual Machines working as usually on the older NUCs (5 and 8) i used before (they are still running).
Then i updateted and upgraded the system and installed virtualbox 6.1.34 via apt with no errors.
When i import my old Virtual Machines (Win7 Prof. and Win10 Prof.) they dont get any Network connection. I tried every NIC configuration from the GUI and even installed the virtio driver version 1.171.1 but still no network.

Can anybody see my mistake or give me a clue what to search for or to do?

It is not only this virtual machine. I tried a previously working Win10 and a openwrt just to test if the network would appear on this machines but no network either.

i cant post the full dmesg becouse it is to long.
Please request any additional analytic output which will be helpfull. I will respond asap.

Not that I know how to fix this yet, but:

The VM's Bridged does in fact look to be tied to the correct host network adapter, and the cable looks plugged in.

Virtualbox Bridged has a driver that must be installed for Bridged to work with the physical host adapter. I don't know how to test this on a Linux host, but in Windows hosts there is a Properties box for the network adapters that show the bindings on the adapter, and which show the Bridged binding if it installed correctly:



See if you can find the Linux version of this and check if the Bridged binding is there.

Also, see if you can undo this:

I tried every NIC configuration from the GUI

back to what it was before on the old VMs. The Virtualbox network adapter in use then was the correct one and would not stop working on a new host.

[fth0]

Virtualbox Bridged has a driver that must be installed for Bridged to work with the physical host adapter. I don't know how to test this on a Linux host

In a terminal on the host, lsmod | grep -i vbox shows the current number of users of the VirtualBox kernel modules vboxdrv (support driver), vboxnetflt (netfilter driver) and vboxnetadp (host-only adapter). Issue the command while the VM is running.

[scottgus1]

Thanks for the info, fth0! That's going in my list.

Ich hatte auch gelesen dass der Treiber bei einem UEFI boot auch signiert sein müssen. Das sind sie aber sicherlich schon, oder? sonst würde lsmod sie ja nicht anzeigen?

Das Netzwerk der VM ist leider immer noch nicht verfügbar.

[scottgus1]

It would probably be good to see the VM's config file and a VM log.

1. Start the VM from full normal shutdown, not save-state. Run until you see the problem happen, then shut down the VM from within the VM's OS if possible. If not possible, close the Virtualbox window for the VM with the Power Off option set.

Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show Log. Save the far left tab's log, zip it, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.

2. Right-click the VM in the main Virtualbox window's VM list, choose Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager. Zip the VM's .vbox file (not the .vbox-prev file), and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab. (Configure your host OS to show all extensions if the folder that opens does not show a .vbox file.)

3. Run this command in the host's terminal and post the output:
vboxmanage list bridgedifs

The virbr0 and virbr0-nic are propably there because i installed qemu/kvm to test if it is only virtualbox that has the problem. It is not.

[fth0]

I don't see any problems so far:

The VirtualBox kernel modules usage matches my expectations: vboxneflt is only used (by the VirtualBoxVM process) while the VM is running, and vboxdrv is used by vboxnetadp and vboxnetflt (and by the VirtualBoxVM process).

The Win7_64-Klon-2022-07-12-20-05-16.log file shows that 1560 Ethernet frames have been received by the VM, and 2006 Ethernet frames have been sent. I'd suggest to investigate further inside the guest OS, looking at the network configuration and use Wireshark to capture the network traffic.

Unter lspci -k wird für den Ethernet Controller I225-V noch der "igc" Treiber angezeigt. Was hab ich da falsch verstanden?

Warum sollte das Deiner Meinung nach nicht so sein?

Ich hatte vermutet der vboxdrv ersetzt den igc, was ich wohl falsch angenommen habe, deswegen die Frage.

I will try to investigate further and face up to wireshark.


Could it be the UEFI? SecureBoot is disabled.
Since This Version of the NUC (11) the legacyboot is disabled.
The older Machines (NUC5, 8 and 10) never showed this Problem.

Because of that i switched the NUC11 with a NUC10 which doesnt host any VMs till i understand the Problem...

Thanks for all the help,

Ich hatte vermutet der vboxdrv ersetzt den igc

Der Host benutzt weiterhin den igc-Treiber für seinen eigenen Netzwerkverkehr. VirtualBox verwendet einen Filter-Treiber namens vboxnetflt, um Pakete für den Gast in den Netzwerk-Stack des Hosts zu injizieren und abzufangen.

Could it be the UEFI? SecureBoot is disabled.

I don't think so.
