No connection from host to guest (win 10 and vb 5.0.4)

Hi,

Host: Win10 and Virtual Box 5.0.4
Guest1: Ubuntu Server 14
Guest2: Linux Mint
Guest3: Win 7

network: bridged adapter

I can't connect to any of my guests (ping, ssh or h\ttp). Neither host to guest nor guest to host. The connection from guest to guests is possible without problems, internet connection for all guest works fine, too.
I have vb deinstalled, installed, static ip, with or without DHCP, nothing works.

Is there a known bug in vb 5 with win 10?
Some advice, how to connect from my host to guest?

Thanks in advance!

Try switching to NDIS5 driver.
User Manual wrote: The user is able to choose between NDIS5 and NDIS6 host network filters drivers during the installation. This is realized via a command line parameter NETWORKTYPE. The NDIS6 driver is default for Windows Vista and later. For older Windows versions, the installer will automatically select the NDIS5 driver and this cannot be changed. For Windows Vista and later the user can force to install the (legacy) NDIS5 host network filter driver using NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5. For example, to install the NDIS5 driver on Windows 7, do

VirtualBox.exe -msiparams NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5
Also, Windows 10 is not supported yet. Use the dedicated topic for release version or pre-release forum for anything > 10240.

Locking this.
