Network unstable after intall Vbox 3.0.10 on Windows 7

Post by frussell »

Hello,

I've installed Virtual box in win7 host in order to test some linux (debian) server issues.

If "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" is active, the host network connection is allways unstable (network fails and returns constantly. i.e.: Outlook presents a reconecting message each minute).
It happens even if no virtual image is running.

If I disable "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" adapter in windows 7 network settings, thenetwork works ok.

It seems something like an "excessive filtration process" in network, so excessive taht breaks netork connection.

Some one as solution for that?

I'm having a similar issue. Windows 7 guest on a Windows 7 host. For example, if I'm copying a large file from my server to the Windows 7 guest, and then browse the server with the host, the file copy fails as if the connection to the server was lost. Same happens on the host if I access the server on the guest. This didn't happen with 3.0.8.

You need to search the bugtracker and add yourselves to a ticket that matches your situation. (Link is below my post)
You will need to create an account there as well as it is on a different system.
