virtualbox.org

Hello,

I installed VirtualBox 3.2.8-64453 today for my Mac OS X (Version 10.6.4) and was playing around with it. Right now, what has happened is my OSX will not work with the Ethernet at all. I've done everything possible on my Mac to repair it, I've tried fiddling with all the networking options, restarting etc.

Let me describe in detail what happened.

I ran VirtualBox, decided to create an Ubuntu virtual system. I did pretty much what the setup asked of me and within minutes I was working on Ubuntu. Now here's the problem, a while later I decided to mess around with the networking options as my internet connection had died.

I tried shifting the internet connection to Bridge > Eth01 from NAT. Now I don't know if this is the issue, but now any Ethernet I try does not work. It registers IP, DNS, Subnet mask etc. but it doesn't connect to the internet via a working ethernet.

Help please

With Regards,
Sharad

Can someone please help? This is urgent ):!!

Have you tried to restore the MAC to a point before you started having problems? I don't remember what it is called but I am sure they have such a feature.

If you're talking about Time Machine, that's not going to work ): .

Thanks for all your help, I've got it working.

For anyone that was curious, resetting the preferences.pst works marvels for networking issues.

It's in Libraries > Preferences > System Preferences > preferences.pst

Just rename/delete it & reboot

Again, thanks for the help (:
