SOLVED: VirtualBox 2.1 + Bitdefender IS 2009

[fotopolis]

Hello.
I want to share with you how I got connecting to Internet in a Vista host with Antivirus Bitdefender IS 2009.
At the begining I thought the problem was the new "host interface" in the 2.1 version.
But I've founded than the problem was the Antivirus Bitdefender IS 2009.
Now my network interfaces in the host machine has two new elements (in propierties of the LAN connection):
1- VirtualBox Host interface Networking driver
2- Bitdefender Firewall NDIS filter driver

The first one is needed by VIrtualBox.
But the second one (in my case) interrupted the VM internet conection.
You have to uncheck this Bitdefender Firewall driver and your VM will connect to Internet.

(Any other thing related with this, tell me!)

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

I've similar problem using Host Interface in VB 2.1
My setting is:
host OS : win 2003 server
guest OS : Vista

I already turn off Vista firewall


After select the host interface and then start the guest OS. The guest OS network doesnt work (ie. guest OS cannot connect to internet and cannot see the host machine)

Then, I try to manual assign IP for my guest OS (ie 192.168.1.171)
As my host OS has IP 192.168.1.168, now they're in subnet and able to share folders

But guest OS still cannot access internet , anyone can help / advices ?

But do you have Antivirus Bitdefender IS?

Thanks a lot!

No. I don't have BitDefender.

Now, I manually assign IP to my guest OS (assign the IP so that it is in the same subnet as my host OS) and assign the DNS server same as my host OS


Now, my guest OS works fine.

I would like to know is that you also need to assign all these by yourself ? or select host interface would automatically assign for you ?

I allways assign it manually, because I change the firewall to permit this IP to connect to P2P.
I haven't test it manually.

Thanks!
