Virtualbox disconnecting wireless

Post by Dazzler »

Hi

I have a problem running virtual box on my Toshiba laptop. I am using windows vista and have the latest version of virtualbox (3.0.12) installed. Whenever I am connected to wireless and I open virtualbox I will lose connection to the internet on my host machine. If I disable my wireless, open virtualbox and then re-enable wireless everything works fine and I have no problem on both my host machine and the virtual machine. Also if I do the previous steps (disable wireless etc) and then try installing the guest additions it will again stop my wireless connection.

I have searched around for a way to resolve this but haven’t had any luck yet, if anyone could help with this it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

These kinds of problems that are reproducible should be reported to bugtracker. You will need to setup an account there as it is on a different system.
It would also help if you can post the ticket number here so other can see the progress, add information, or see the final results.
