VBoxManage cannot assign network settings correctly

[serov]

Hi!

I'm using win7 and cygwin (vbox 4.3.28). Time to time VBoxManage cannot assign network settings correctly at the first time to the network interface. If I run the command secondary all will work OK.

The outputs of command:

Creating host-only interface

Verifying interface VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter has IP 10.20.0.1 and mask 255.255.255.0 properly set.
New IP address 10.20.0.1 does not match the applied one 169.254.89.92

Which services I should check before assign network settings to interface?
Could you help me please?

are you running the vboxmanage command in a cygwin prompt or in a regular windows prompt?

I'm running the vboxmanage command in a cygwin prompt

Try in a regular windows prompt please and let us know if it works better. I would strongly suggest to reboot if you've tried in cygwin since last boot to avoid any settings remaining in memory.
