Virtualbox Blocks SQL and File Sharing on Host

Post by genistas »

Hi, I'm running Virtualbox 4.3.12 on a Windows Server 2008 host, with Windows 7 as the virtual. I also have an SQL server and shared folders on the host. The problem I have is that when the "Virtual Box Host-Only Network" adapter is enabled it completely shuts down all file-sharing and SQL traffic to/from the host on the local network. If I disable the Host-Only Network adapter all file-sharing is restored. Strangely access to the internet is never disrupted.

Is it even possible to run Virtualbox without disrupting filesharing/sql traffic to the host? If so, any ideas what the fix could be?

Thanks in advance!
