Virtual box with host network crash Linux host

Post by walkerd »

I started to play with host interface in 2.0.2 (till now I was using just NAT) and my Linux is regularly crashing. There are 2 cases, I do not know if related:
1. I activate the network adapter with the host interface configuration. After some time (few hours) the computer hangs. I can do nothing just press the power off button.
2. I have 2 network interfaces active. eth1 and wlan0. When XP in VB is booting, the Linux hangs. Again only Power button helps. I tried it 3 times, 3 times the same. After ifconfig wlan0 down, the XP booted and it runs. System logs are empty.

I am using Debian with 2.6.25.10

Any hint is welcome.

Are you really running 2.0.2 and not 2.1.2? If it's the latter, please update to 2.1.4 which should solve these issues.

You were right. I was using 2.1.2. I upgraded today morning to 2.1.4 but since it crashed already 2x, I am going to downgrade now ...
