Bridge stopped working on Windows 8.1

Post by Y4kuzi »

Hello,

today my bridge network stopped working on my Windows 8.1 host. My guest OS is Debian 7.7.
Nothing have changed before that time, I didn't (un)install anything from the host or guest.

What could be the issue? I'm pretty new to VirtualBox and I need a bridged network because I am running a server.

Thanks in advance.


[Update]
Weird, after I did a factory reset on my router, bridged network is working again. It is weird because I have not changed any settings in the router before.
Is there a permanent fix? I don't like to keep resetting my router.

Why not ask your router manufacturer?
