Host-Only adapter keeps disappearing

Post by meeewk »

Whenever I add a Host-Only adapter in Network under preferences it disappears after pressing OK.

Steps:
File > Preferences > Network > Host-Only Networks > Adds New Host-Only Network

vboxnet# appears in the list (Replace # with 1,2,3,4,etc...). Once I press OK and go back to the screen, there's nothing there. If I add another one, it adds vboxnet# with # increasing by 1.

Why does it keep disappearing? I can't select any Host-Only Networks for my VMs as it says none exist.
