Confirmed Guest NAT networking regression defect since build 5.0.20-106931

Post by mdlueck »

Greetings,

The is a regression defect in VirtualBox PUEL builds higher than 5.0.20-106931. Guest VM's configured for NAT mode networking are unable to look up hostnames of hosts in on the Host machines local LAN.

The 5.0.24 at least restored that functionality to Windows Guest VM's, however Ubuntu Linux Guest VM's are still impacted.

I just rolled VB back to version 5.0.20-106931 and doing so restored the needed functionality for both Guest VM OS's.

I am thankful,
