Hello everybody,

I was using version 2.1.x on vista host successfully. Now I upgraded to version 2.2 and there is no hostadapter anymore available.
Within the network settings of vb I could only select bridged network, but vb does not give me a selection of adapters!
Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

Regards, merlin

Try to do a Repair Install of Virtualbox (starting the installation file, and click repair).
Helped for me (had the same problem)

repair didn't work for me, but acomplete uninstall and reinstall.
VMs are not affected by this.

regards, dtr.

I was able to fix this with repair option. I also posted same question here http://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic. ... 087#p69087

repair helped.

Thank you.

After upgrading to 2.2, I have no internet on my Guest OS, now.
I have tried to repair, I have uninstalled & reinstalled, and I have tried another repair ontop of that.

I've gone into my Network settings for my VM and made sure it has the host-only adapter selected, and it does.
It's normally set to NAT, and I've also tried some of the other settings, and I can't access the internet from my guest OS (Windows XP)

There have been some changes to networking in VBox 2.2
You might want to re-visit the Users Guide and read chapter 6 again. If you use host-only you will need to setup a second adapter for the guest to get to the internet or select the bridged networking instead.

Same here. I tried everything and couldn't get it to work. I have downgraded back to 2.1.4 as it worked flawlessly for me...

I just wish you could disan;e to stupid prompt to update on program launch, as for now I will stick with 2.1.4.

My VM cannot obtain an IP now under XP, nothing helps. Tried all adapters, no result, any ideas?

i restarted and did the repair and it fixed my problem
thanks guys

There are already enough "Bridged networking doesn't work"-threads. Therefor, I'm locking this one.
