VirtualBox 5 breaks DNS on Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit host

Hello,

When I install VirtualBox 5 on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit machine, the network on the host machine somehow messes up my DNS and I cannot use the internet.

This never happened on previous versions...any ideas?

No I have a weird issue too and I don't know if it is caused by Virtual Box or not. I find that when I use the AT&T VPN now that it does not resolve items on our intranet (I use the AT&T VPN to connect to the internet). I end up having to change the DNS servers in my Windows network connections to use the intranet DNS servers and not point to my router (192.168.1.1).

The ip address that keeps coming back when I try to resolve an intranet ip is:
92.242.140.21

Our intranet starts with 9.x.x.x for all addresses.

I'm on Windows 10 64 bit

In the past I had an issue and uninstalled Virtual Box and re-installed and that helped.
