Unable to connect to domain

Post by memco »

I am unable to connect to my work account from VirtualBox. I get an error indicating that Windows was unable to connect to the domain. This issue just sprouted a few days ago, and this is the second time it has happened. The first time I was able to get in by using my previous password, which I had changed several days before. Now however, using any password gives me this error. I've talked with my sysadmin who says that as long as I have the right password and can access the internet then I should be able to log in.

I suspect this is a VirtualBox issue because I can log in from other machines, just not my VM and because of the strange behavior where an old password was accepted. What are possible reasons this is happening and what can I do to correct it and prevent it from happening again?

Try bridged networking via Ethernet instead of NAT.

Thanks, I tried this, but it too didn't work. I tried following the instructions here to get an idea of what's going on, but it just produced one line of junk. Any other ways to see what the VM is doing or any other ways I can try to connect to the domain?
