Bridge networks not working in Virtualbox under Windows 10

Question

I just upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and found that I cannot start the Virtualbox virtual machines configured with a bridge adapter.

See configuration below:

Answer 1

First of all, you need to create a VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter

In Virtualbox:

• Go to File> Preferences. On the "Network" tab, select "Only host networks", click "add host-only adapter", give it a default name, this is "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter"

On Windows:

• go to Network Connections in Windows and select both the real adapter and the new virtual ethernet adapter that you just created.
• Right-click and select "Bridge Connections" to create a network bridge in Windows.

Now configure your virtual machine:

• in the "Network" section, you can activate a new adapter, and then select "Attached to the adapter only for hosting"
• Select only the VirtualBox virtual adapter you just created.

Now you can configure your static IP address by changing / etc / network / interfaces:

auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.1.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 10.1.1.1 

Now you can restart eth0 by doing:

 sudo ifdown eth0 sudo ifup eth0 

Some wireless adapters do not work

Answer 2

My Windows 10 machine was automatically updated today. It looks like "Update for Windows 10 Anniversary" When I restarted Virtualbox, my server with the bridge adapter showed the same thing as the OP. I tried restarting the VirtualBox installer (he did the repair) - this did not fix the problem. I tried to run the installer again as Admin (he did the repair) - this does not fix it. I ran the installer and selected UnInstall, and then ran it again to install. And the settings of the network adapter looked good. The server started and connected to my network, as usual. Phew Hope this helps someone.

Answer 3

Install the latest 5.x virtual unit and this problem will be resolved.

Answer 4

Here is how I fixed this problem:

Enable Windows 8 compatibility for the VirtualBox executable: right-click on the VirtualBox shortcut> Properties: in the Properties dialog box: go to the Compatibility tab, in the Compatibility Mode section, select the checkbox next to: "Run this program in mode compatibility ", make sure that" Windows 8 "is selected in the combo box. click "OK", start VirtualBox again! (it did not need to be run as Administrator)

ps: It seems that VirtualBox does not yet fully support Windows 10, so some functions may not work correctly on some computers

Answer 5

Uninstall, then run Setup again, but this time as an administrator. Make sure that the VB bridge driver is selected during installation.

Answer 6

From Reddit:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/39af75/for_my_win10_companions_heres_how_to_get/

I do not see the source in this thread, although I would like to.

I use these instructions with a laptop that is upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10. I must repeat the last instructions after rebooting.

I have a test to get a solution for myself and want to share my solution. - The host just worked - The adapter adapter is working.

My configuration - Surface Pro 1 - Clean install of Windows 10 x64 build 10130 - VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC1-100731-Win.exe

(this is my opinion, but it has not been verified how to uninstall the previous version by installing VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC1-100731-Win.exe with the choice of all to install its fault and roll back everything, then this is the same as uninstalling)

Install step - Right-click on VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC1-100731-Win.exe and select "Run as administrator" - Optional bridge network "Unselect"

• next until completion

• Open "Device Manager", you can use the search bar to get it, in the "Network Adapters" section, then right-click on "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter" select "Update Software Driver" select "Automatic Search", wait graduation

• Open the "Network Connections", you can use the search bar to get it, here you should find the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter.
• Open "CMD", you can use the search bar to get it, right-click and select "Run as administrator"
• cd to your installation path and execute the command "VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC1-100731-Win.exe -extract", it will return a pop-up window to indicate where the extracted folder is
• in the extracted folder extraction "VirtualBox-5.0.0_RC1-r100731-MultiArch_amd64.msi" from 7-Zip or any similar
• in msi, the extracted folder will rename all files by deleting the file_ before them
• copy "VBoxNetFltNobj.sys" and "VBoxNetFlt.sys" to C: \ Windows \ System32 \
• Open "CMD", you can use the search bar to get it, right-click and select "Run as administrator" "regsvr32.exe / s VBoxNetFltNobj.sys" execute the command "regsvr32.exe / s VBoxNetFlt.sys"
• Open "Network Connections", you can use the search bar to get this. Right-click on any real network adapter, select "Properties". Install select Service, select "Have Disk" and go to "VBoxDrv.inf". select "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver" after completion you should see it available in this regard

• From the Start menu, right-click Orcle VM VirtualBox, select the open file location

• Right-click on the shortcut and select properties on the Compatibility tab. "Run this program as administrator"

!!! it is very important to run the application with an administrator, if not, you will lose the network adapter for the host only

• Open the Virtual Box, select the file> preference network, then select "Host on the network", select "Change Change" on the "192.168.56.1" page and netmask to 255.255.255.0
• Now you can use both the host server and the bridge network on your guest

I think the reason why the normal installation was a mistake is related to the Administrator access level when registering and starting the application

Sorry for my bad english and this is such a long procedure

Hope this works for you too. ^ _ ^!

Answer 7

Install the certificate "vbox-ssl-cacertificate.crt" from %userprofile%\\.virtualbox\ and then reboot. If you do not have a .virtualbox folder, run "Oracle VM VirtualBox" once, and this folder will appear.

I had this problem not only on my machine, but also on many hosts, and this certificate fixed the problem. I understood this by accident, because I haven’t said anything about this certificate -_-

Answer 8

I solved it in a similar way to @Khalil, but I got attached to the "Bridged Adapter" instead of the "Host-only Adapter". Here are more details with screenshots.

Answer 9

My very simple solution that worked: choose a different network card!

• Make sure your guest is turned off.
• Go to the guest page Settings> Network> Adaptation
• Change the adapter type to another adapter.
• Start your guest and check if you have a decent IP address for your network.

If it does not work, repeat the steps and try another network adapter. The most basic PCnet adapters have high speed.

Good luck.

Answer 10

Go to your network card. Go to properties and then "Add service", what? This is: VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver

Open virtual box

Answer 11

Today I faced the same problem after updating Virtual Box. Fixed uninstalling Virtual Box and transition to the old version V5.2.8

Answer 12

WINDOWS FIX: Ive 'fixed by downloading the new VMbox installer from the official site here .

• Just run the installer and install it to override the current version of VMBox, which should fix it.

Do not worry about your virtual machine, they will not disappear if you redefine the current installation.

NOTE. If you already have the latest version installed, you need to export all your virtual machines, do not delete the current VMBox and install it from the new installer.

Answer 13

At the moment (5.2.20) a bug has been fixed. The only action required is to download the latest version, and the mod should function normally.

Answer 15

I had the same problem. I upgraded to the new version of VirtualBox 5.2.26 and checked that the bridge adapter was turned on during the installation process now works

Answer 16

The virtual box gives a lot of problems when it comes to the bridge adapter. I had the same problem with Virtual Box for Windows 10. I decided to create a VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter. But again, I got problems creating the host-only Ethernet adapter. I decided to switch to vmware . Vmware did not give me any problems. After installing vmware (and after changing several settings in the BIOS) and installing ubuntu on it, it automatically connected to the Internet on my machine. He could generate his own IP address, and he could also ping the host computer (Windows machine). Therefore, for me, the virtual box created a lot of problems, while vmware worked without problems.
