Hello;

I've recently moved from vbox on Windows to Ubuntu (headless) with phpvirtualbox

When the client machine starts, I cannot ping it - if I login to the console and restart networking, sometimes that gets it going

Otherwise, if I log into phpvirtualbox and change the network adapter from bridged to nat, save it, then change it back to bridged and save again.

Is there a fix for this that I'm missing - or have I set something up wrong?

Can you get the same error with a standalone version of VirtualBox? If so, then we could continue this discussion. Just want to make sure that it's a VirtualBox issue and not a phpVirtualBox one...

I don't seem to.

but in saying that, out of the 3 VM's I have running, 1 never has this problem (ie starts networking fine)

1 sometimes has the problem but then a second reboot sorts it 99% of the time and the 3rd without fail always starts without networking.

Then maybe it's the scripts that phpVirtualBox is using. A timing issue perhaps? Either you'd have to dig for yourself and find out what's going on and what's causing this, or you'd have to ask them if they can pinpoint the root of that behavior.

Upgraded to vbox 5.1 - issue is now resolved!

Could you give some more details. 5.1.??? And from which version?

Marking as [Solved] in any event. Thanks for reporting back...
