In total I'm having 5 NICs connected to my PC. The ones I use for my VMs are more or less dedicated to certain Oracle VB VMs. So in order to not interfere with my main NIC (e.g. default gw) I disabled all components in the bridged VM NICs on the Windows 10 host, with the exception of "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Network Driver". However, with this setup I don't see that NIC in the VM settings. I can't select it to bridge. However, when I activate the IPv6 protocol on that NICs I can select the adapter in the VM settings and everything works just fine. As there's no IPv6 active in those test VLANs it's also not interfering with my main adapter.
N'joy.
I have the same problem as Tux83
I'm running VirtualBox on 2 servers with windows 10 as hosts OS.
- Server No.1 has been in use for a while now. Don't think it has al the latest windows updates installed.
- Server No.2 is a fresh installation with no windows updates installed (currently I only have 4G internet on that location with a limited data bundle)
- Each server has 3 network interfaces and 2 of them are connected to unsafe networks that should only be accessible by the virtual machine assigned to that interface.
- For security reasons and to prevent interference I also disabled all network components on the unsafe interfaces (except the virtualbox NDIS 6).
- In virtualbox I only use the bridged adapter mode for the interfaces.
On server no.1 I'm still running virtualbox version 5.0.0. Here I can select al interfaces as target for the bridge. Even with all the unnecessary components disabled.
On server no.2 I'm running version 5.0.10. If I disable all unnecessary components the interfaces don't appear until I enable the internet protocol v4 OR v6 option.
Is this a bug? Or is this by design?
