Network initialization is really long
Posted: 23. Aug 2009, 09:11
Hello all,
Please help with a networking problem. I have a host system Vista Ultimate 64-bit, and guest system Windows XP 32-bit. There is one network adapter in guest OS, working in "Host-Only" mode.
On host system "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" adapter configured as static address 192.168.107.1, mask 255.255.255.0, DHCP-server is disabled.
On guest system network adapter configured as static address 192.168.107.101, mask 255.255.255.0.
Right after guest OS boots up, network is not working, i can't ping guest from host, nor host from guest. But after about 1 minute, network starts to work and then works normal.
Why there is such long initialization time, and how can i get rid of it?
There is no antivirus programs on host and guest, firewalls are disabled.
VirtualBox version 3.0.4.
P.S. To dig some more information, i have installed Ubuntu 9.04 as a another guest OS, and ran into a complete "voodoo" situation. I have configured network adapter in Ubuntu just as in previous Windows XP guest system. And when I boot guest Ubuntu for the first time, i have no network at all, no matter how much time i wait after boot up. But if I shutdown Ubuntu, and immediately boot it for the second time - i get working network right after boot up guest OS. But if I reboot host OS, and after that boot guest Ubuntu - I got no network again until I shutdown guest and boot it for the second time.
Any help is appreciated.
