Virtualbox host only ethernet adapter не работает
Internet works perfectly on host (Ubuntu 13.04, 32 bit, fully updated) but cannot connect to internet on guest Windows 7 (under Virtualbox 4.2). Have tried NAT and Bridge Network - none worked. I had internet connection in the guest OS a couple of months ago, but I haven't tried the virtualbox since and now it's gone for some reason. I would be grateful if someone could help me re-connect the windows OS back online (without the need to format my computer or to uninstall and re-install the guest OS). Thanks!
You can try to boot the guest using a Live CD, if it has internet connection it is a Windows issue, if it doesn't then it's likely a VB configuration issue.

I was having the same problem on Ubuntu 12.10 64bit using Virtualbox 4.2.22. Here are the steps I took to solve my problem:
- Open Virtualbox Manager
- Select the machine you cannot get internet on in the left pane
- Click the Settings button in the top menu
- Click Network in the left pane in the settings window
- Switched to Bridged Adapter in the Attached to drop-down menu
- Select the name of the network adapter you are currently using on your host machine. I am using wireless so I chose eth0 which is my wireless network adapter. You can check which adapter you are currently using by opening the terminal ( CTRL + ALT + T by default) and running ifconfig . It will probably be the eth adapter that shows an inet addr and shows data transfer next to RX bytes.
- Under Advanced, make sure the machine is using the Desktop Adapter Type
- Under Advanced, make sure Promiscuous Mode is set to Allow All
- Under Advanced, make sure Cable connected is checked on
- Hit OK to save your changes
- Start your VM
At that point you should be able to start a web browser in your VM and get a connection. This video provided the information I listed above, even though they are using a Windows 7 host with a Windows Server guest.
This is an image showing an example of the settings you need (taken from this answer).
Worked for me. I input the MAC address of my host machine's network adapter in the Mac Address field of the guests's network configuration dialog.
Worked for me for connection through iphone. Host: MacOS, guest Ubuntu (guest should be irrelevant I believe). Thanks a lot!
This solution worked for me:
You realize that you propose to change settings in the host OS while the problem exists in the guest?
(Also having a Adapter 1 with "NAT"), Note I also has another Adapter 2 with "host-only" but it is for connecting host and guest (ping from both). Thanks!
For wireless to work, in my machines anyway, the WiFi MAC address in Settings must match the hardware, and wlan0 must be selected (when host Internet comes through wireless).
EDIT:
After gaining much more experience with this, I find:
- The initial network connection is very finicky and inconsistent.
- Once made, it reconnects every time with no problem.
- The MAC address does not need to match the hardware (as initially stated).
- Because of 1., trouble with the VM Internet connection is best remedied by unbridging and/or changing the MAC, starting the VM, stopping, re-bridging, etc. Sooner or later, it will connect.
[/EDIT]
Here's a quick HowTo:
First click your network icon and select Connection Information.
On the Hardware Address line, copy the MAC address (the six digit-pairs separated by colons).
Paste in a neutral location such as a text editor, where the colons can be edited out (remove them). Copy the rendered 12 characters remaining.
Note: Attempts to paste the MAC with the colons still present will fail.
With the latest VirtualBox (VBox) available from *buntu repos, v4.1.12 at this writing:
In VBox, with the VM selected, click Settings. Click Network and on that page, typically under the Adapter 1 tab, click Advanced.
Click the dropdown at Attached to: and select Bridged Adapter. Highlight the 'Mac Address' data and delete it. Paste the true MAC address copied above.
Check parameters are set as follows, in order from top-to-bottom:
- Enable Network Adapter: checked
- Attached to: Bridged Adapter
- Name: wlan0
- Adapter Type: the one with "Desktop" in the name
- Promiscuous Mode: Allow All
- Mac Address: as copied and pasted above
- Cable Connected: checked
Note that in the VM window, for Win7 at least, the WiFi symbol appears different from what it is in native mode. But WiFi is running nonetheless.
If it was working fine until recently, but suddenly your VM seems to have lost network connectivity while the host seems to have normal internet connection, then maybe just try the following steps.
Step 1: Right click on the network icon for the VM, Which most of the time will be on the bottom right corner in windowed mode.
Step 2: Toggle off the button named "Connect Network Adapter" and after waiting for like 10 seconds toggle it back on.
Another solution: If you are on windows Host, Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections right click any of the Virtualbox adapter and select Diagnose , let it do its thing and if it finds some anomaly with the adapter it will give you a prompt to reset the adapter by Apply the recommended solution/changes , you opt in for that, after its done, you most probably should have the network back to normal in your virtual machine.
I have to do this step almost regularly since I rarely shutdown my PC and always put it to sleep so after waking up I frequently encounter this issue.
I just upgraded my laptop from Windows 7 to Windows 10 and found that I am unable to start Virtualbox VMs configured with a bridged adapter.
See the configuration below:
I resetted all netwerork connections on the computer to see if it resolved an unrelated issue. Hence I thought that the VirtualBox installation might have been affected, so I uninstalled and installed VirtualBox, and the list of bridge adapters was filled again.

Reinstall the Virtual Box and restart your system.
Had exactly same issue, Reinstalling VirtualBox Version 5.1.12 r112440 on Win 10 fixed the issue. I did not have virtualbox Host-Only Network interface Created already after Reinstalling I got one.
Repairing the installation didn't help for me. I had to manually uninstall existing VirtualBox first. Not sure if the following was relevant, but I also started the installer with admin privileges.
open virtual box -> select the default virtual machine-> setting -> network -> change host-only to bridged networking -> start virtual machine -> Open docker quickStart Terminal to connect
You must reinstall the driver.
Go to device manager, you will find an "unknown driver" missing then update it by pointing to this link: C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp6\VBoxNetAdp6.inf
This was helpful to me. I went to Device Manager>Action>Add Legacy Hardware. I selected network adapter then browsed to `C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp6` and picked the driver.
If the 'add legacy hardware' option isn't there or if the 'unknown device' doesn't appear -- you can always right-click the .inf file and select 'Install'.
Existing answers didn't help me, but this did:
Open the Network tab of your VirtualBox settings.
Cycle through all Adapter tabs and make sure none of them points to something non-existent, even if the adapter is disabled.
For disabled adapters, enable them, set to Not attached, then disable again.
Save.
UPD: that didn't solve it. The solution was to reinstall VirtualBox like @ArpitArgarwal suggests, but simply repairing it didn't help. What helped was:

First of all you have to create a VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter
- Go to File > Preferences On the Network tab select Host only Networks click on "add a Host-only adapter" give it a name by default it is "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter"
- go to Network connections on Windows and highlight both the real adapter and the new virtual ethernet adapter that you just created.
- Right click and select "Bridge Connections", it's going to create a network bridge in Windows.
Now configure your VM :
- in the Network part you can activate a new adapter and then select Attached to Host only adapter
- Choose the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter you have just created
You can now configure your static IP Address by modifying /etc/network/interfaces :
You can now restart eth0 by doing :
Some wireless adapters don't work
Where you put the ip? In the virtual machine? I can set a IP in the same LAN or I must be set the same IP of the bridge connection?The gateway is the IP address of the router?
Go to your net card. Go to properties and then Install -> Service , which? This: VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver
Reopen Virtual Box
You will need to pick "Have Disk" and browse to C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netlwf
I got this . : Could not add the requested feature. The error is: The certificate is not valid for the requested usage.
My Windows 10 machine was automagically updated today. Looks like the "Windows 10 Anniversary update" When I restarted Virtualbox my server with a bridged adapter showed same as OP. I tried rerunning the VirtualBox installer (it did a Repair) - that did not fix the issue. I tried running the installer again as Admin (it did a Repair) - that did not fix. I ran the installer and selected UnInstall, then ran it again to Install. And the Network adapter settings looked good. Server started and connected to my network as usual. Whew. Hope this helps someone.
I did the exact same thing as you and the adapter is still missing - which brought me here searching and I find you had success - I guess I need a better hammer to beat the software with.
Exact same story with Virtualbox 6.0.8 after Windows 10 update to v1903 (build 18362.116) Fixed by removing + installing VirtualBox.
I experienced the same issue - my Win 10 updated to v2004 and evidently removed my VirtualBox ethernet adapters. Repairing did not work. I had to uninstall VirtualBox and re-install it (no reboot needed). This created the ethernet adapters and then I was able to use bridged networking.
same case, work 100%, because the virtualbox installer have one option in the installer for load your Bridge Connections in ur instalation
Install the latest Virtual box 5.x and this issue will be resolved.
Upgrading VirtualBox 5.2.0 -> 5.2.4 fixed bridged networking problem for me. In my case guest was simply unable to reach network with all configuration correct.
Uninstall then run the setup program again but this time as Administrator. Make sure the VB bridge driver is selected during installation.
This works for my case. As pointed by this post, forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=56792 this problem is for the lack of "VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver", rerun virtual box installer as administrator, and select "Bridged networking driver" during installation, it works now.
@FlorianNeiss well it worked for me and others. What do you call a long time? Uninstalling and reinstalling VirtualBox shouldn't take more than about 30m. Compared to time spent troubleshooting and trying some of the other suggestions here that doesn't seem like a "long time" to me!
@Caltor in my case it took 2 hours plus VB did not regognize my External Drive Z: so I had to reimport all my VB disks. Complete work day ruined. :/
This is how I mananged to fix this problem:
Enable "Windows 8" compatibility for VirtualBox executable: right-click on VirtualBox shortcut>Properties: in Properties dialog box: switch to "Compatibility" tab, under "Compatibility mode" section, select the check box next to: "Run this program in compatibility mode", make sure "Windows 8" is selected in combo box. click Ok, run VirtualBox again! (it's not needed to run as Administrator)
p.s.: It seems that VirtualBox doesn't yet fully support Windows 10, so some features might not work properly on some computers
I have the same issue, I tried your solution but without success. Looking to the official documentation of Virtualbox, it's true that they are a lot of issues with Windows 10
I tried compatibility mode with Windows 8 to no avail. It is strange, because my bridges networking works sometimes in Windows 10 with VirtualBox (usually after a fresh reboot of host machine and virtual client). I sure hope they get this issue resolved, it is not convenient to have to reboot my PC every time the virtual machine network isn't working properly!
Disabling "Hyper-V" might also fix some other issues related to running VirtualBox VMs on Windows 10 system, it's because Windows built-in virtualization solution, called Hyper-V, doesn't work well with VirtualBox. (to disable: in Control Panel: Programs and Features>Turn Windows Features on or off: un-check the check mark next to "Hyper-V"
Install "vbox-ssl-cacertificate.crt" certificate from %userprofile%\\.virtualbox\ and then reboot. If you don't have .virtualbox folder - launch "Oracle VM VirtualBox" once and this folder will appear.
I had this issue not only on my machine but on many hosts, and this certificate fixed the issue. I figured it out by chance, because nowhere said about this certificate -_-
I can't see the original source in this thread, although I would like to.
I am using these instructions with a laptop that upgraded from windows 8 to windows 10. I have to repeat the last instructions after rebooting.

Host-Only Network missing in VirtualBox Preferences/Network
by Zsolt » 15. Mar 2017, 21:21
I'm running VirtualBox 5.1.16 on a Windows 10 64 bit host. Although the VirtualBox Host-only adapter is alive, VirtualBox cannot see the adapter:
Looking at the VirtualBox Host-Only Adapter properties, the NDIS driver is selected:
I have Kaspersky Internet Security 2017 installed, and I suspect it is somehow in connection with the problem. (I have another computer with ESET antivirus, and there is no issue with VirtualBox host-only network.)
If I try to add a new host-only network in VirtualBox, it is created, but it still wouldn't appear in the host-only networks window. No error message appears.
I also created a bug report, in which I see this - I don't know if it is relevant or not:
00:00:03.309740 netIfGetBoundAdapters: failed to query INetCfg (0x80070005)
00:00:03.309740 NetIfList: netIfGetBoundAdapters failed (0x80070005)
Could you please give me a hint how to fix host-only network? Thanks.

That could very well be the source of your problem. Try disabling it temporarily. They have been known to interfere with the the proper installation of VirtualBox components. My gut feeling is that an "unknown" application (VirtualBox) is trying to modify a key Windows aspect and they are over-jealous about protecting it, going a step further than even Windows itself.
- Uninstall VirtualBox. Your VMs are going to be untouched.
- Download (if you haven't already) the latest VirtualBox and its matching ExtPack. Store them in a common location, i.e. not on "Desktop", or "Documents", but to "Public/Downloads" for example.
- Right-click on the installer and select " Run as Administrator ". At the end of the installation, choose to "Start Oracle VM VirtualBox". Do not worry if your VMs do not show.
- Go to File » Preferences » Extensions. Click on the icon with the orange, down-pointing arrow on the right. Select the ExtPack from the previous steps.
- Quit VirtualBox. Re-start VirtualBox as you would normally, i.e. from the Desktop shortcut or the Start menu.

Socratis, I appreciate your suggestions, thank you.
All is left maybe completely uninstall Kasperksy and give a try if the host-only network shows up in VirtualBox then.
by socratis » 16. Mar 2017, 21:31
Funny. It just worked on an identical situation. Are you sure you weren't only logged in as an Administrator, and you definitely right-clicked and chose RunAsAdministrator?

My fault. I was superficial in thinking that it's enough that I'm administrator anyways.
Now I tried it, and it looked like OK. Unfortunately only when VirtualBox starts up the first time - then host-only adapter is really there. But next time I start it, host-only network is gone.

I just remembered the Monty Python's "Spam sketch" for some reason.
Anyhow, you're in the 99.9% of people that think the same way, so no worries. I've been trying to highlight, bold, underline the whole thing. If you want to see the difference for yourself, it's really easy. Open a Command Prompt. Now, open one with Run-as-Administrator. Can you see the difference?
Or if you ever have an XP guest, with a single administrator user, try to 1) give the user the name "Administrator" -> denied. 2) boot that guest in safe mode. You magically have two users

Well, playing around with 'Run as administrator'. When I run VirtualBox again as admin, the host-only network is there. Strange, really. As if the host-only network requires admin privileges.
by socratis » 17. Mar 2017, 22:00
Something is messed up in your system, most probably because of the non-distinction between user/administrator. Here's what you do:

Hi Socratis, thank you for an even more detailed workaround. I also deleted the "C:\Users\
- When I do the clean install as administrator, and VirtualBox starts up the first time, the host-only network is properly there, with 192.186.56.1 adapter address, just as you told.
- Next time I run VirtualBox as 'me', there is no host-only network any more.
- (If I run VirtualBox as administrator again, host-only network is still there.)
Well, if you still have the energy to fight this problem, I appreciate it and give a try to your instructions. However, I can live with this situation, running VB as admin. This is not a production environment, I don't think there is much danger in doing so, although you say I'd better forget it. I absolutely don't worry about existing VMs, I can even delete them if that helps - nothing to lose there.

I always log in as 'Zsolt', because I'm the primary user of this computer, and I'm its admin of course. So whenever I log in, I do it with this very same account.
When I say I install VB as administrator, I mean clicking the installer file with the right button and select 'Run as administrator'.
When I say I run VB as administrator, I mean clicking the VB icon with the right button and select 'Run as administrator'.
Th Host-only adapter is installed, no matter if I use the 'Run as administrator' option or not, so the adapter is always there in the operating system. Its properties are these:
However the host-only adapter is obviously there in Windows if VB is installed, but it is hidden inside VB, unless I start VB with the option 'Run as administrator' - then the adapter is there, and working as expected.

Where did that mask come from? That's quite an unusual mask to have there. Is it in the DHCP properties of the HostOnly network in VirtualBox? Or in the properties in the Network Center?

Host-Only Network missing in VirtualBox Preferences/Network
37 Answers 37
I had the same problem today. The reason was that I had another VM running in VirtualBox.
Solution:
- Open VirtualBox and shut down every VM running
- Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
- Restart VirtualBox
You should now be able to run vagrant up or vagrant reload and have your new host configured.
As mentioned in this answer, recent versions of macOS can block VirtualBox.
Solution:
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
Also worked for me, VirtualBox UI showed no VMs up, but restarting resolved the problem. Perhaps vagrant halt didn't finish successfully the last time.
This answer assumes, I guess, that VirtualBox is in your StartupItems. If it isn't, see @pazhyn's answer below, which seems to be more general & worked for me.
Had to do this and then click "Allow" in System preferences as mentioned by some other answers. Without this, the "Allow" did not appear even.
Big Sur, system pref -> security & privacy -> general -> unlock to make changes -> advanced -> approve and reboot
For Mac OS X 10.9.3 and Vagrant 1.6.3 and VirtualBox 4.3.6 this problem was fixed with restarting the VirtualBox
For any one having the same question on: Mac OS 10.13 + vagrant 2.2.0 + VirtualBox 5.2.20 this worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much!
TL;DR MacOS is probably blocking VirtualBox. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow".
Solution: Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
MacOS by default can block kexts from loading. You must click the "allow" button before executing the VirtualBoxStartup.sh script.
Then run: sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart like the answer above.
(This article provides more clarity to MacOS kernel extension loading)
MacOS by default can block kexts from loading. You must click the "allow" button before executing the VirtualBoxStartup.sh script. That was the issue for me ! Thanks!
On macOS BigSur (11.0.1) I had to update Virtualbox to the latest version before getting the prompt on System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General to "Allow". A system restart was also required after allowing.
This issue appears to be fixed by installing the latest version of Virtual Box.
I had this issue after upgrading to OS X El Captian. Upgrading to the latest version of VB solved the issue for me. Virtual box will give you the latest link if you go to the virtualbox menu at the top of your screen and clicking check for updates.
Got the error in Mac after the update to Mojave. Probably you have an older version of virtual box.
Update to a recent version of virtualbox. (5.2 at the time of wrting this post)
Edit: adding @lsimonetti's comment.
In addition to that upgrade to Virtualbox 5.2, you need Vagrant >= 2.0.1
If you are on Linux, simply run: sudo vboxreload
I'm running Oracle VM Virtualbox on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
sudo apt remove virtualbox virtualbox-5.0 virtualbox-4.*
sudo apt-get install virtualbox
I couldn't find my VirtualBox installation folder, as such could not issue the command:
$sudo /Library/StartupItems/VirtualBox/VirtualBox restart
My local env just stopped responding. Could not get vagrant up. remove and installed vbox fixed whatever was the issue. Thanks
If after performing what is said by @totophe and on macOS it still doesn't work, just restart your mac. Then open the terminal and vagrant up .
This usually happens after each macOS update.
I had to reinstall Virtual Box on my machine.
Here's the downloads page: Downloads Page
Then vagrant up worked for me after.
I had similar problem upgrading to OSX Monterey.
- Install VirtualBox Extension (download)
- Accept VirtualBox Security & Privacy/Privacy/Input Monitoring
In my case, I was able to solve this issue by reinstalling virtual box. I was trying to use laravel's homestead and was having this error. Reinstalling helps creating the directories that are needed for virtual box again. Took me an hour to figure out.
I'm running Debian 8 (Jessie), Vagrant 1.6.5 and Virtual Box 4.3.x with the same problem.
For me it got fixed executing:
Tried multiple solutions but the below sequence works for me.
Virtual Box: 5.2.34 Vagrant: 2.2.5 Mac OSX: 10.14.6
First Allow access to oracle inc:
Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy Then hit the "Allow" button to let Oracle (VirtualBox) load.
Then restart VBox by this command:
Now try Vagrant up again.
That Allow access thing won't be shown after the update, only after install I guess. But the command does the job on Big Sur 11.5 and 11.6. One note - after that command I also had to do the restart.
I've just had the same problem after upgrading to mac os Big Sur
Linus solution worked for me
- Grant permission to VirtualBox under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General (this request is new to macOS High Sierra)
- Open Terminal and run: sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart
Worked great for me on Mac. This normally happens when I shut down my computer without running
I am using ubuntu 14.04. I have genymotion installed on virtualbox. Every time I start genymotion I had no problem, but suddenly one time it said unable to load virtualbox engine and it didn't open. I went through the log file and found out it could not create a new host only network because it has already created all possible host only networks. And the problem is that it cannot allocate memory for a new network.
Fix: go to your virtual box File --> Preferences --> Network
Click the host-only tab and just delete some of the host-only networks so that you will get some memory freed and next time, a new network can be created easily.
Deletion fixed my problem.
Thanks for this. I was using Virtual Box on windows and had exactly same issue. Your hint of checking preferences of network helped me solve this issue.
In my case I had to do the following to solve this error for me:
- First (re)install latest VirtualBox;
- Run sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart in terminal (not sure if this is needed in order to get the system preferences show up the allow/disallow option);
- Allow in Security & Privacy
- Restart your machine
- Run sudo "/Library/Application Support/VirtualBox/LaunchDaemons/VirtualBoxStartup.sh" restart again.
Ready to run vagrant up again.
The main answer is correct, HOWEVER . this post does say to reinstall VirtualBox which is what helped Apple recognize and re-approve the security preferences for me.
I fixed this error by installing VirtualBox 4.2 instead of 4.3. I think the latest version of vagrant and VB 4.3 are incompatible on a fedora system.
- CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
- VirtualBox-5.0
I came across this tread while searching Google for. VBoxManage: error: Failed to create the host-only adapter
I was using VirtualBox-5.0 to test some virtual machines created with Vagrant and setting private networks in my Vagrantfile web.vm.network "private_network", ip: "192.168.10.2"
When evoking the command $ vagrant up I would get the above mentioned error along with /dev/vboxnetcrl does not exist.
It seems that my version of VirtualBox did not have the proper kernel module compiled for my version of Linux and the device, /dev/vboxnetcrl, does not get created.
Since I wanted to test virtual machine and not troubleshoot VirtualBox, my work around (not a solution) was to:
After that I was able to create the virtual machines with specified host-adapters. And of course, under VirtualBox-4.3, /dev/vboxnetcrl was there.
Now on to testing my VMs. And when I have time, I'll see if I can get it working under VirtualBox 5.0
When I am trying to add a new Network Interface for Host only network, Virtual Box version :Version 5.0.22 r108108.
I am getting a following error:
Check if you still have the "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter" connection in "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections". If not, you should create a new network interface pointing to the VirtualBox network driver.
