I have a win7 64bit host that has been running vbox for a long time. The last two updates (4.1.10 and 4.1.12) have left all my guests without network access.
I tried asking about this once before, but I didn't ask a very good question because I didn't know how to troubleshoot this issue. I installed vbox 4.1.12 on a new win7 64 bit machine at work today and it works flawlessly. This tells me there is something wrong with my problem host and not vbox. I tend to prefer bridged networking, but Ive tried over the last few days with NAT also, with no help. I've tried different guest OS families from Win XP to Linux to BSD, all have similar brokenness. Here is what happens (in bridged mode): 1) Guest launches normally and gets IP address from network. 2) guest can ping by name sites on the internet. 3) Web browsing times out. It *FEELS* like that vbox is firewalling tcp packets or something similar, but I can find no place where this would be setup. I know this isnt stock vbox, but does anyone have any ideas of anything else I can check. So far I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling vbox. I've deleted all the network adapters from device manager (including the isatap adapters that you see when you "view hidden devices") and reinstalled. So far, I've come up empty. Any help or pointers appreciated.
