XP on Win7 Host - Bridged Network: Loosing Internetconection

Post by alllala »

Hi there.

I´m Using VB on my Computer and have no Problems. But now I installed VB on my Notebook and having a weird one.

When i start the VM machine, I´m loosing my Internet connection on my Notebook although the network still is doing fine.
Only when I deactivate and reactivate the the Wifi or LAN (tested with both) i get my Internet back on my Notebook, but in the VM it still doesn´t work.
In the VM i can Ping the network, but no Internet adress.

I use the Bride Network with the PCnet-Fast III adapter which works fine on my Computer.

So what can i do now?

Simply restarting the virtual machine worked for me. I think it has to do with timeouts hoenstly. If the ports aren't being used, or other variables such as, I noticed mine did it when I had a game screen up for a while, but wasn't actually connected to the server, or anything else.
