Windows 10 not recognizing bridged adapters?

[mattig89ch]

Hidy ho all,

I have an Acer Veriton X498G, that I've run virtual servers, clients, firewalls, ect on for 7-8 months now. I haven't had time to sit down and mess around with virtual machines much lately, but today I finally had a chance.

I went to start up my widowns 7 vm, and my firewall vm, when I got an error. My firewall has 2 virtual nics, one is a bridged nic to my machines adapter, then other points to a virtual network i've setup. My goal is to get as close as possible to mimicking 2 separate locations for testing with. My firewall is throwing an error saying how the bridged connection doesn't point to any specific adapter, and my machines adapter isn't showing up in the drop-down box.

The only thing thats changed since the last time I started it up and now is the fact that this machine is now running windows 10. So, does virtual box not support bridged adapters on windows 10?

Not yet but it will when the official support for Windows 10 has been released.

Host OS = Windows 8.1
Bridge adapter status = recognized

Host OS = Windows 10 (updated)
Bridge adapter status = not recognized

Guest OS = Windows Server 2012 R2

I'm using Virtualbox beta version 5.0.1.
Laptop has Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN adapter.

Update 5.0.2 fixed everything.

which guest you use?

so you start vbox.exe 5.0.2 and in the impo of yr vm machine you are able to select net - bridge- and to select yr network card adapter?

last: have you do a clean and fresh win 10 install or have you upgrade from an older previous S.O. ?

I disabled & then re-enabled wifi adapter. Then upgraded to Virtualbox 5.0.2. After this Bridged network drop down menu showed the wifi card.

Guest: Windows Server 2012 R2.
Windows was upgraded from Windows 8.1

"I disabled & then re-enabled wifi adapter."...:

could you pls show all the steps in win 10 64 bit..?

have you unistalled or simply disabled..?
and then after you have installed vb 5.0.2..?

and then staring vb and choosing the vm in its impo you find in netcard adapter for the bridged mode..?
thxs indeed!

cheers!

To disable/re-enable adapter:

Go to Network & sharing centre ---> Change adapter settings ---> right-click adapter & choose enable/disable

Hope this will work for you.

hi!

first thxs so much for yr time!

i disabled my adapter
i re enabled it
then run vb 5.0.2

still no way to choose network -bridged-
still impossible to find my adapter in vb i see none selected and if i click the array black on the right i really do not see any adapter to choose..

hope this will help vb's' devs that has already fixed the sound issue
in my case
win 10 64bit host
xp as guest

the network bridge issue is still there

cheers!!

5.0.2 upgrade fixed the ethernet bridget adapter not showing in bridged mode network list too, then now NAT family mode is broken for all my hosts. If I configure a guest machine (windows or linux or any OS doesn't matter), apparently everything works,guest dhcp client correctly get and assign IP to guest, then the guest is unable to reach the internet or any network resoruce.

As a troubleshooter I tried to stop and restart the vbox-host-only network adapter, no joy.

Host: windowx 10 64 bit

Any idea?

"5.0.2 upgrade fixed the ethernet bridget adapter not showing in bridged mode network list too, then now NAT family mode is broken for all my hosts."..:

for me is the exact countrary..
no able to choose bridge net adapter
but NAT works fine...

is really a mistery isn't it..??

Update. If bridged mode works and phisical adapter is recognised, NAT family do not work. If bridged Mode not work becouse adapter is not recognised, then NAT family do work!

On this laptop with two graphics adapter, the one integrated in the Intel chipset and the other a Nvidia card, if I do use Lucid Virtue utility to start VirtualBox with Nvidia Card, phisical network adapter is not recognised and so bridged mode can't be enabled. If I run the VirtualBox guest using integrated Intel adapter, phisical network adapter is recognised and so Bridged Mode works, then in this situation NAT fanily adapter wont work.

Dear Virtualbox/Oracle developers, it is a mess you should try to clear, networking is a lot more basic than other aspects of the software. Example: audio is fixed, then, IMHO, in a virtual infrastructure, networking should have a priority on audio.
