NAT interface problem with windows guests

Post by _rm »

hi,

i am having issues with the NAT drivers in 4.1.2 with windows hosts (linux etc untested) ... what i am seeing was that commits to my svn were going fast for around 10mb, then slowed to a crawl. initially i thought my svn server was broken, so i tried a different one ... then i thought something was weird on the network, so i tried a different one ... and so on, and so on - in the end, i tried switching between different NAT drivers - no effect - and then finally to bridged, which solved the problem. also, just to verify, i went back to 4.0.8 - no problems with NAT ...

without going into too much detail, i can say that it feels like there's an issue with buffers - the first 10mb really go crazy fast.

one general thing: how about adding some kind of ignore button to the upgrade prompt?

Check for updates can be disabled in the General Preferences of VB.

That NAT doesn't work any more is strange, because not much has changed between 4.0.8 and 4.1.2. Do you have the same problems with 4.0.10 and 4.0.12?
