Package: virtualbox
Version: 4.1.18-dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Virtual box drops/looses packets between host and guest network interfaces.
The guest can happly ping both the hosts vboxnet0 interface and the hosts
external eth0 interface
address without packet loss.
The host has 90+% packet loss when ping the guest's ip.
The virtual guest is set to use host-only-networking this has been working for
some time in
this configuration without issue. This was until I upgraded to the latest
kernel image and at the same time
decided to try the RT versions.
This occures when using the RT kernel using linux-image-3.2.0-3-rt-amd64
but works normally with the non RT versions of the same kernel ie
linux-image-3.2.0-3-amd64
I am using virtualbox-dkms to build the kernel modules
Let me know if you need me to test anything or more info.
