Description
As a user of VirtualBox, I upgrade the software whenever a new release comes out. During this upgrade, the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter's IPv4 address is changed from the configuration I use (172.16.0.100) to a 192.168.x.y address.
I consider this to be unexpected behaviour as:
- Upgrades should not alter basic configuration settings
- The process to rectify this takes time and involves a reboot
This problem has affected all releases on Windows Host for the past 4 months.
Can this be investigated and fixed?
