Bridged Adapter Error

Post by DBench712309 »

I thought I'd start a new thread for this issue as the old one is 8 years old and it doesn't look like it's being worked on https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14374 ... um_hist=66.
Seems like it's still a common problem across multiple platforms. I always re-test it after every application update.

Version 7.0.12 r159484 (Qt5.15.2)
Guest Additions information report: Version 7.0.12 r159484 '7.0.12'
Logs attached.

Host: Windows 10 22H2 64-bit
Guest: Debian GNU/Linux 12 64-bit
2 CPU's, 4 GB RAM and 128MB Video assigned.

The guest ceases to have internet after the host resumes from hibernate - others have reported the same for sleep.

The workaround is to run the following batch file triggered by these events:

Code: Select all

@echo off
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" controlvm "Debian 12.1.0" nicpromisc1 allow-all
"C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe" controlvm "Debian 12.1.0" nicpromisc1 deny
The code itself simply enables/disables promiscuous mode which then brings the guest internet back to life.

Seems like I may have resolved my issue by running both of these commands (followed by a reboot).
Seems that having any underlying hyper-v components plays havoc with VBox.

Code: Select all

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
DISM /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
