Thanks for the .vbox. You are already connected to NAT, good.

The guest card type is set to the PCnet-Fast III card, which the 2012 OS may not have built-in drivers for. I made a temporary 2012 guest and the default network card chosen by Virtualbox is the 'Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop'. The default is picked by Virtualbox for hardware the guest OS ships with drivers for.

Shut down your guest, set the guest's network card to the above Intel card, and restart your guest. You may see a "new hardware" message, let it happen.

If it's a different issue, open a different thread.

Because if you can't "cd" your way through, it's easier to have 1 command to execute, even if it provides too much information.

VBoxBugReport (you "capitalization-agnostic" Winusers; tsk, tsk, tsk... ;) ) has been around since 5.0.x in the source code, but it "shipped" with 5.1.0. I've been "holding on" to that top-secret information. I think I'm going to be using it from now on as a catch-all tool, especially for USB related troubleshooting. Which is why they created in the first place...

Bill Gates must have had a bone spur in his pinkies:

I also will keep VBoxBugReport (there, that's better) in mind, that was a lot of info gleaned in one command. Thanks, for the heads-up, Socratis!

He made a grave mistake by having hired Charles Simonyi who's the one responsible for "inventing" Hungarian notation (or should it be *pHungarianNotation), a computer-specific CamelCase. Oh, the irony... ;)
