Recently I upgrade windows 8 to windows 10 and virtualbox 4 to virtualbox 5.
I have a centos6 guest on virtualbox used bridged network and It worked fine previously(host and guest could ping each other).
Then after the upgrades there is a strange problem.
My windows host and centos guest cat't ping each other(Anyway, the centos could ping the gateway and access the internet normally).
But if I use another pc, I can ping this centos6 guset, and reversely it is ok.

Any idea?

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.
