Windows 7 host and Windows XP guest - no internet connection

Post by pykko »

I have the host: Windows 7 (7077) and Windows XP as guest installed in VirtualBox.
I can't get my internet work in VM.

Is it related to the new ipv4.2 si ipv6.1 introduced in Windows 7 ?

What can I do?

What version of VBox are you using?
What did you select for the guest network, NAT, Host-only, Bridged, Hosted interface?

I'm assuming you use the default NAT setting for the VM. That doesn't work properly in 2.2.0. Check the Bugtracker for the ticket and work around.

Ever heard of Google? It's a very good website that lets you search on the web if you can't find it yourself. If you used it, you would have found the problem on this site: http://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/3655
