virtualbox.org

I've searched, read and tried just about everything I can find and so far, no luck ... so I'm obviously missing *something* ...

Host: Mac OS X (El Capitan)
- Windows 8.1 worked perfectly fine
Vbox: 5.0.2
- Windows 10.x upgraded with 5.0.2 VBox Guest Additions

Network Adapter in GUI: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop
Network Type: Bridged *or* NAT ... tried both

Go into Device Manager, the Device says "This device is working properly", and if I right click on it, it says it is Enabled. This is after I had to "Re-install Driver".

Go into Network Settings -> Change Adapter Options, it shows the Device as Disabled ... right click and click 'Enable', a window pops up that goes from "Enabling" -> "Enabled" and then disappears ... but the device stays Disabled ...

If I right click on the device and go to Properties ... its all blank, as if nothing is loaded ... ?

I found this article (viewtopic.php?f=8&t=60883) talking about disabling IPv6 on the Mac side ... tried that, made no difference.

Now, I know others have this working, so figure there is something that should be obvious that I'm missing ... but I can't find it ...

Suggestions?

Not that this helps you but El Capitan is not a supported host yet. Windows 10 is not a supported guest yet. Given all that, My Windows 10 guest works just fine with my iMac running 10.11 dp8 connected through Wi-Fi. I haven't tested it on a Mac connected directly to an Ethernet connection.

You may want to try the current test build. It's what I am running.

'k, tried the test build, as well as 5.0.4 that was just released ... updated extpack, as well as Guest Additions ... have also tried it on a Yosemite system I have, just in case it was El Capitan related ... doesn't work there either ...

From Device Manager in Windows 10 Guest, I uninstalled the ethernet and reinstalled it ... it appears to install fine ...

Go to Network Settings -> Change Adapter settings, and the ethernet is disabled, but also, if I do properties, its empty (see attached image) ...

I did the upgrade for this using the Media Creation Tool that others on this forum suggested using ... and hte upgrade *seemed* to go fine ...

I've also attached my setup for the Guest in the GUI ... not that there is much tht I think I can screw up in there, but what network type are you using? I'm using NAT, and my host computer is, like yours, WiFi ...

Thx

Having the same exact issue as Scrappy, same symptoms. One big difference is I'm using Windows 8.1 x64 as a host. I also tried Windows 7 x64 as a host.

VM is Windows 10, upgraded from Windows 7. I repeatedly tried to remove the nics and trying different nics (paravirtual, Intel Pro/1000), using NAT and Bridged mode.

Some notes/steps taken:
- I uninstalled the vbox extensions before my Win7 upgrade
- At one point during the upgrade, once Win10 was fully loaded but before a reboot, the network was working. After the final reboot it stopped working and it's never worked since.
- Tested the guest on VirtualBox 4.3.12, 4.3.30, 5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.0.3, and 5.0.4.
- Tested the guest with "version" set to Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10
- Tested with guest chipset at ICH9 and PIIX3
- Removed my .vbox file and create a new VM attaching to the existing .vdi file.

Just to make sure it's not a host issue, I decided to just test a Windows 10 clean install. The network works fine on a clean install.
