Win7-64 host, tried upgrade 3.0.6 to 3.0.12... Bridged GONE!

Post by rjbdba »

Using VB 3.0.6 on Windows 7 Ult64 for a while, no problems. A few Linux guests, Windows guests, no problem.

Bridged networking was working great too -- the VBs need to see each other AND get to the Internet and the host.

Tried upgrading to 3.0.12, seemed fine, but now MY BRIDGED NETWORK ADAPTER is GONE!!! I no longer have my physical network card in the dropdown when I select a bridged adapter.

Also tried all the various uninstall/reinstall scenarios on this board and elsewhere, but can't get a bridged connection to the host's physical adapter.

Also tried using other virtual adapter types... nothing.

Also tried searching the registry to get rid of any phantom settings after uninistall. No luck there, either.

Any ideas GREATLY appreciated.

Have you tried a cold boot of the host?
