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 - -

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

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

My very simple solution that worked  select another networkcard    Make sure your guest is shut down Goto the guest Settings   Network   Adavanced Change the Adapter Type to another adapter  Start your guest and check if you got a decent IP for your network    If it doesn t work  repeat steps and try yet another network adapter  The very basic PCnet adapters have a high succes-rate   Good luck

Virtual Box gives a lot of issues when it comes to bridge adaptor  I had the same issue with Virtual Box for windows 10  I decided to create VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter  But I again got issues while creating the host-only ethernet adaptor  I decided to switch to vmware  Vmware did not give me any issues  After installing vmware  and after changing few settings in the BIOS  and installing ubuntu on it  it automatically connected to my host machine s internet  It was able to generate it s own IP address as well and could also ping the host machine  windows machine   Hence  for me virtual box created a lot of issues whereas  vmware worked smoothly for me

I solved it with similar way to  Khalil s but I attched to  Bridged Adapter  instead of  Host-only Adapter   Here is more detail with screenshots

WINDOWS FIX  Ive  Fixed it by downloading a new VMbox installer from the Official Website Here    Just run the installer and install it to override your current VMBox version  that should fix it    Dont worry about your VM s they will not disappear if you override your current installation   NOTE  If you already have the latest version  you need to export all your VM s  unninstall your current VMBox and install it from new installer

In Case some one is looking and none of the above resolves your issue   https   forums virtualbox org viewtopic php f 6 amp t 90650 amp p 434965 p434965  placing the WIFI as the first adapter  MTDesktop  AllowALL  and the LAN WIRED  MTServer AllowAll  as the second adapter  In the Guest machine I disable the First Adapter in Adapter Settings  I can then ping internal  external whatever

First of all you have to create a VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter   In Virtualbox     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    In Windows      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    auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10 1 1 100 netmask 255 255 255 0 gateway 10 1 1 1   You can now restart eth0 by doing    sudo ifdown eth0 sudo ifup eth0   Some wireless adapters don t work
