unix/linux Network not working on VBox 4

[gruntgulp]

I just upgraded VBox to 4.0.0 R69151, the host is W7 Home Edition 64 bit.

I had two virtual machines (Fedora 14 64 bit and Solaris 10 32 bit) with bridged NIC (the guest NIC is Intel PRO MT Desktop the host one is a Atheros Wireless).

As soon as I completed the upgrade from VBox 3 to VBox 4 both the virtual machines are no longer able to start the network connection.

I reinstalled the Fedora one (trying the old good "restart from zero" option) even on the fresh install fedora is not able to start the network connection.

I tried to install an XP virtual machine and everything works fine

do you have any suggestion ?

thank you!

I've found it you go back to the Settings and recheck the advanced setting especially the Network Adaptor emulation, change to a different one then change back.. it seems to work.

What does ifconfig say when you are in the Linux VM?

[gruntgulp]

Now it works!

thank you!

I read your request to look to ifconfig after applying your suggestion: this is the ifconfig print out of the working configuration

thank you again

the network of the Fedora running within a virtual machine does not works once more the solution "iamalittlepepper" suggested now doesn't works

the ifconfig result is:

Hi all,

today everything works fine. I did nothing.

it looks that VBox 4 has some youth problem with networking....
