Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
Hi,

The host OS is Vista Basic x64.
Thanks for help and this great product.

Next to the Attached To dropdown box, is a button. Click it, then you can select which interface you want to use.

Re: Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
I have a similar problem. When I click the button, it comes up with a window that says "Bridged Network Details."
It has a selection for "Bridged Network Adapter," but the only selection possible is "Not selected."
It also has a selection for Guest MAC address.
Any ideas on why this could be?
Edit: I'm running Vista Business x64 as host, and both Windows XP and Linux guests exhibit this issue. This was working on VirtualBox 2.1.4.

Re: Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
Same issue here with Virtual Box 2.20. I'm not able to select my network card as bridged network adapter. Running on Vista 64x with a Realtek networkcard.
It worked fine in 2.14.

I haven't updated my XP VM for testing, but it appears that the HIF driver isn't installed, or loaded. Please check the NIC properties on the Host.

Re: Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
I'm having the same issue when upgrading from 2.1.4 to 2.2.0 (Windows Vista 64-bit host).
I got around the issue by completely uninstalling VirtualBox, installing 2.2.0 from scratch, and re-booting. You'll now see the NIC in Bridged Mode and you'll be good to go.

Re: Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
Reinstall VBox 2.2 and tell it to repair the installation.
For some reason it failed to install correctly the first time.
I should have known it failed when Windows did not tell me to reboot to finish the process the first time.

Did repair then restart and the network interfaces show-up properly.

Re: Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
I installed 2.2.0 in my XP VM replacing 2.1.4. No problems. Didn't have to reboot or repair the install. Bridged NICs were selectable.

Same problem for me. I repaired, now I can select my host interface (Windows Vista Home SP1 32bits)
Thanks for the tips!

Re: Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
I think it might be a Vista thing Sasquatch. Been watching and seems that way. Anyway second install and repair fixes it. Small price for a great update.Sasquatch wrote:I installed 2.2.0 in my XP VM replacing 2.1.4. No problems. Didn't have to reboot or repair the install. Bridged NICs were selectable.

Re: Virtual Box 2.2.0 Bridged Networking
You're right. Everyone here with the issue is using Vista. I'm so happy I don't use it. No problems with Linux, and if I have to, XP.Perryg wrote:I think it might be a Vista thing Sasquatch.
