Re: Host-only Failed
What version did you upgrade from?
You can try to install VirtualBox again and select repair. Make sure that all of the network installs are selected.

Re: Host-only Failed
Thanks for your reply =)
Just tried a repair like you said, but it wouldn't work still.
I took a upgrade from VirtualBox-3.1.2-56127-Win -> VirtualBox-3.1.4-57640-Win and now when I was gonna run my VB with the session I have used with Nat Bridge port it gave me a error. this upgrade messed it all up...
(Upgrades before have never given me any problems.)

Re: Host-only Failed
From a host terminal/command windows VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use "" if the name has a space in it.
As well as the log file for the guest (as an attachment) Located in the main GUI of VBox and machine show log.

Re: Host-only Failed
Yes! 
You know what, I just did a Repair on my xp and then everything seemed to work as it should
But, now there is a lot of icons showing in the right bottom corner beside the clock. Local area connection 1-5 with a yellow triangle.
I think the bridge was the problem. somehow the update must have reset the bridge or something...
I guess now my problem would be how to find out which to delete and not.

Re: Host-only Failed
There is an old phrase that seems to fit computers really well
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it"
