Networking Problem with 4.3.26 and Mac Yosemite hosts

[chrisbgri]

I just installed 4.3.26 and am trying to install and update a brand new Windows 7 Guest OS.

With network settings set to NAT, the Win 7 Guest OS stays connected to the network, but my Mac OS X Yosemite host loses all network functionality.

Anyone else seen this? I didn't see anything in the forums related to this

Do you mean networking or access to the internet? I've been running VB on Yosemite since 6/14. Are you running OSX 10.10.3?

[chrisbgri]

Yep, 10.10.3 (14D131)

[loukingjr]

So what networking functionality do you mean?

[bikermike]

This thread seems to have died but I am having a networking problem in that there is no networking on any virtual machine, WinXP, Win7, Win10 and Ubuntu, I'm not sure when this started as I don't use VB that often but the Yosemite update to 10.10.4 seems likely point.

Following from OS X console log:

Can't find an older version of VB to try out.

Try uninstalling EasySIMBL then reboot. I've been running 10.10.4 since the first developer seed with no issues.
