Wireshark Sees No Networks

Post by Feldur »

I have VirtualBox Version 5.2.20 r125813 (Qt5.6.3) running on macOS Mojave 10.14 (18A391). The guest OS is Ubuntu 18.04.1. Log is attached.

I have two network adapters:
  • Adapter 1 attached to NAT, Cable Connected
  • Adapter 2 attached to Host-only Adapter, name vboxnet0. Promiscuous Mode Allow All, Cable Connected
I have installed Wireshark Version 2.6.3 (Git v2.6.3 packaged as 2.6.3-ubuntu18.04.1).

The problem is that Wireshark doesn't see the network adapter(s) - all it sees to capture from is ciscodump, randpkt, sshdump, and udpdump.

Where did I setup something wrong? I'd expected that at least vboxnet0 would show up (If I start Wireshark on the host, it does see vboxnet0 and can see traffic). Both

Code: Select all

ping6 ::1
and

Code: Select all

ping6 fe80::29bd:6390:d701:567
work.

Summary: In the VM, Wireshark does not see the network interfaces. Promiscuous mode is on. IPv6 ping works. Host can see host-only network traffic.

Thanks for any help you can offer
