Virtualbox bridged network adapter acting funky

Post by abrigham »

Hi I just installed virtualbox version 4.1.22 over a previous install of 4.1.20. Since then I have not been able to get online inside my virtual box. Previously the bridged adapter was working fine, now I'm seeing a "VirtualBox Host-Only Network showing up in my network adapters in windows which is an Unidentified network (maybe unrelated?). I've tried installing a previous virtual box version (both .20 and .18) as well as completely removing the virtual box install restarting windows and then installing it fresh. Nothing seems to work though anyone have any clues?

Thanks

there is no reply .104 is the guest and .85 is the host if that helps

If you don't need the host only adapter, simply disable it (from Windows).

Hi just figured I would let people know I ended up solving it by running a system restore and moving windows back a week so whatever it was, was something in the host OS.
