[Invalid] Internet connection no longer works on any of my Virtualbox instances

Post by AWS »

Running this on Mac OS X 10.13.5, VirtualBox version 5.12.12

I normally have things set to Bridged Adapter, FWIW.

Internet connection use to work in my virtual machines, but they work no longer -- I don't really know how to describe it. It's like the Wifi adapter is gone, the wired connectors are gone (in the virtual instances). I get the same outcome when I run VirtualBox on my Windows 10 machine too. It's just not able to see anything from the net.

In Ubuntu for example if I go to the Wifi settings it only says "No wi-fi adapter found"

Not sure if I should delete/request this thread be deleted or not, but what fixed it was resetting my router for some odd reason.

So if anyone else is encountering this issue, consider a reset!

There! I fixed it for you! ;)

Thanks for reporting back, that seemed quite baffling of a question. Marking as [Invalid].
