Windows 8, Virtual Box and VPN Connections

Post by Marco_Hamburg_01 »

Hello,

does anyone know about issues with Windows 8 vpn connections when virtual box is installed on the System?

My problem is, after installing virtual box on win8 and reboot I can connect to any vpn Connection but can't communicate with the target Network.
After uninstalling virtualbox everything runs fine.

I'm in need for virtualbox because my Laptop/processor doesn't support the needed features used by HyperV.


Thanks in advance.
Marco

If you have a host-only interface (installed by default), it is possible it is messing about your VPN connection.
Try to disable it first and see how the VPN goes?
