DNS Server is not responding after installing VirtualBox

Hello,

If I install VirtualBox I can't connect to the internet via ethernet -wifi works fine. If I try troubleshooting I get an error saying "DNS server is not responding".

I've tried disabling VirtualBox Host-Only Network from my Network Connections, used cmd to flush my DNS and such, checked that the DHCP server is enabled through my router, checked that aquiring IPv4 and IPv6 is automatic... Any help?

Thanks,
Sophia.

Update: I'm using Windows 8.1

Very late answer but try switching to the 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
