I'm running 64bit VBOX 5.1.8 with a Win7 guest on a Mageia 5 host. After upgrading to 5.1.8, the virtual network will not time out in the Win7 guest. In other words, any app that tries to access any unavailable network resource freezes indefinitely. The only solution is to disable the virtual network adapter, which immediately allows the app to wake up and complain about the network being unavailable.
Specific examples: an emulator for a mainframe, Notepad++ with a file open that lives on the network at work, xplorer2 with a network folder open. All of these are completely frozen while the network is unavailable. -- _____ |_ _|__ _ __ ___ | |/ _ \| '_ ` _ \ | | (_) | | | | | | |_|\___/|_| |_| |_| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ VBox-users-community mailing list VBox-users-community@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/vbox-users-community _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe: mailto:vbox-users-community-requ...@lists.sourceforge.net?subject=unsubscribe
