VirtualBox can't find host-only adapters on Windows 10 host => Fixed in SVN

Reported by: gregor Owned by:
Component: network/hostif Version: VirtualBox 5.0.2
Keywords: win10 Cc:
Guest type: all Host type: Windows

Description

After the creation of host-only adapters with VirtualBox 5.0.2-102096 on a Windows 10.0.10240 host (which was fixed with #14040), all newly created interfaces disappear when reopening the network preferences dialog. It also impossible to assign host-only adapters to existing VMs. The adapters do appear in Windows Device manager though.

I get the same results when using the command lines tools. The creation of new interfaces works without problems:

C:\> VBoxManage.exe hostonlyif create
0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100%
Interface 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter #5' was successfully created

But VirtualBox can't find the adapters, as the following command does not return any output:

$ VBoxManage.exe list hostonlyifs

VirtualBox log file of one of my VMs.

comment:1 by Frank Mehnert, 9 years ago

How went the installation of VBox 5.0.2, did you see any error? The log file clearly shows that the VBoxNetAdp6.sys driver is not installed. Did you uncheck any items during the installation?

in reply to:  1 comment:2 by gregor, 9 years ago

The installation of VirtualBox 5.0.2 was performed without any problems, and I did not uncheck anything in the setup program. It is installed on a fresh copy of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit (i.e. no upgrade installation from a previous version of Windows).

Please let me know if I can provide any further details. Is it possible to install the VBoxNetAdp6.sys driver manually?

comment:3 by michaln, 9 years ago

Just to be sure, please provide the output of 'sc query vboxnetadp' and 'ipconfig /all' on the host system.

comment:4 by gregor, 9 years ago

The service control command produces the following output:

C:\> sc query vboxnetadp

SERVICE_NAME: vboxnetadp

And ipconfig shows the following two VBox-related network interfaces that are also displayed in Device Manager:

Could you please verify that you have C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\VBoxNetAdp6.sys and that it's file version 5.0.2.2096? I'm guessing you must, but it's better to check.

Please also confirm that you never had VirtualBox 4.3 or earlier on the system and that you do not have C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\VBoxNetAdp.sys.

comment:6 by gregor, 9 years ago

I can confirm that C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\VBoxNetAdp6.sys is there, and that it's version 5.0.2.2096.

I did have VirtualBox 4.3 previously installed on this machine when I was trying to address issue #14040. There is also a file C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\VBoxNetAdp.sys on my system that has version 4.3.30.0.

I uninstalled VirtualBox 4.3.30 with the normal setup routine, but it seems that it did not remove this file. How can I safely remove it in order to fix this problem?

comment:7 by michaln, 9 years ago

No, removing the old driver file won't fix the problem. Windows just doesn't uninstall drivers fully (don't look at us, that's MSFT's policy).

VirtualBox 4.3.30 only has NDIS 5 networking drivers which means it actually cannot work on Windows 10 where NDIS 6 is required. But I am now wondering if installing 4.3 on a Windows 10 system might be actively harmful.

FWIW, I have no problem here on a laptop that started as Windows 8, had VirtualBox 4.3 installed, then was upgraded to Windows 10 and had VBox 5.0 installed (can't quite remember the order). I have the old driver file lying around too, but the host-only adapters are enumerated correctly.

comment:8 by michaln, 9 years ago

Oh and please double check that when you go to "Network Connections" and open the Properties dialog of the "VirtualBox Host-Only Network" connection, you see "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver" in the "This connection uses the following items" list.

comment:9 by gregor, 9 years ago

To rule out any potential problems with the previous installation of VirtualBox 4.3.30, I completely reinstalled Windows 10 on my machine. The only software I installed after Windows setup was VirtualBox 5.0.2. Directly after the installation (without rebooting the system) I did not have any issues with host-only network adapters. I was able to add, remove and assign host-only adapters. After rebooting the system everything went back to how it was with the previous installation: None of the devices are enumerated, and I have problems with my existing VMs because none of the host-only adapters are properly assigned.

I made an additional observation: I also can't assign bridged adapters to my VMs, and the "Check for updates..." function gives the following error message:

The network operation failed with the following error: Unknown reason.

@michaln: Please see the attached screenshot that shows that the NDIS6 driver is used by the host-only network adapter.

comment:11 by gregor, 9 years ago

Any VM that is launched and had a host-only adapter assigned before, gives the following error message on startup:

Nonexistent host networking interface, name 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter' (VERR_INTERNAL_ERROR).

Result Code: 
E_FAIL (0x80004005)
Component: 
ConsoleWrap
Interface: 
IConsole {872da645-4a9b-1727-bee2-5585105b9eed}

But as described before, the device is visible in Windows Device Manager.

comment:12 by gregor, 9 years ago

I reinstalled Windows 10 once again and was not able to use any host-only adapters this time. Not sure why I could see them with the previous installation before rebooting the machine.

I also noticed that VirtualBox's command line tools will enumerate host-only adapters when querying for DHCP servers:

C:\> vboxmanage list -l dhcpservers
NetworkName:    HostInterfaceNetworking-VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter
IP:             192.168.56.100
NetworkMask:    255.255.255.0
lowerIPAddress: 192.168.56.101
upperIPAddress: 192.168.56.254
Enabled:        Yes

The corresponding command to list host-only adapters won't provide any output:

C:\> vboxmanage list -l hostonlyifs

comment:13 by michaln, 9 years ago

The update check problem is completely unrelated to any of this (we know about that problem, we know what causes it). The "Nonexistent host networking interface" error at VM startup is consistent with the fact that 'list hostonlyifs' sees nothing. No surprise there.

The fact that 'list dhcpservers' shows the host-only adapter is very interesting though. This could be related to different ways of enumerating Windows network adapters.

This won't help you any but I have another laptop upgraded from Windows 8.1 to 10. This one only ever had VirtualBox 5.0 installed (after the OS upgrade I believe) and has no trouble finding host-only adapters, even after reboots.

Oh, and one hint: Initial enumeration is done when VBoxSVC starts, which happens automatically when the VirtualBox GUI is launched or any other API client is started (VBoxManage, a VM process, etc.). It might be interesting to know if restarting VBoxSVC has any effect, i.e. if the problem is transient and perhaps again somehow timing related or if it's consistent. VBoxManage normally quits a few seconds after the last API client disconnects.

Ah.. I am getting same problem too. Please check my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O2UIFncsUA&feature=youtu.be here.

How can I resolve it? Any fix?

comment:15 by Aleksey Ilyushin, 9 years ago

gregor, jimit,

Please provide the output of "VBoxManage list bridgedifs" and "sc query vboxnetlwf" after you get the empty list of hostonly interfaces.

        WAIT_HINT          : 0x0

The big problem here is that boot2docker uses "vboxmanage list -l hostonlyifs" and then try to create a new host-only adapter. Then it checks again for the created one and fails.

@michaln: I tried restarting VBoxSVC several times, but it did not show any effect: The list of host-only adapters remains empty.

@aleksey: I get the same output as crramirez, essentially no output when querying for host-only and bridged adapters. Listing DHCP servers still provides details about host-only adapters though (see below):

VBoxSVC.log after executing "VBoxManage list bridgedifs"

comment:19 by gregor, 9 years ago

Aleksey, I have attached the VBoxSVC.log file that was created after executing "VBoxManage list bridgeifs" to this ticket: https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/14437/VBoxSVC_Gregor_2015-08-17.log

There are no differences in VBoxSVC.log when running VBoxManage to list hostonlyifs, bridgedifs or dhcpservers.

Please let me know if you need any further details.

For reference, could you all please note what Ethernet hardware is in your systems (both wired and wireless)? There is a good chance the problem is related to the Ethernet hardware/drivers on the system.

in reply to:  22 comment:23 by gregor, 9 years ago

@michaln: My computer has the following two network adapters:

  • Wired: Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection
  • Wireless: Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN

I never had any problems with my network hardware and previous versions of VirtualBox and Windows.

Please let me know if I can provide further details.

comment:24 by michaln, 9 years ago

Previous versions of VirtualBox had a completely different implementation of bridging and host-only on Windows (NDIS 5 vs. NDIS 6). At the same time, Windows 10 clearly made a number of changes that broke things working on previous versions; one of those changes is that NDIS 5 is no longer available at all. On top of that, Windows 10 was released more or less simultaneously with VirtualBox 5.0. Conservative people always let others work through the bugs first, but apparently there aren't enough of them :)

For reference, the X1 Carbon with no bridged/host-only problems has an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 (no wired connection).

comment:25 by michaln, 9 years ago

And for good measure... do any of the affected systems have any AV and/or firewall software that might be interfering? Or is reproducible on a completely clean Windows 10 install with no funny stuff?

in reply to:  25 comment:26 by gregor, 9 years ago

@michaln: I tried this several times on a completely new installation of Windows 10 without any additional security or anti-virus software.

Are you able to get VirtualBox 5.x running on a fresh Windows 10 installation, i.e. not a Windows 7/8 upgrade installation?

comment:27 by gregor, 9 years ago

@michaln: Also, were you able to further look into why all host-only adapters would be enumerated using the "VBoxManage list dhcpservers" command?

comment:28 by michaln, 9 years ago

Clean install - tried that in a VM and yes, it works fine. On real hardware not yet but soon.

As for the enumeration, it's just done quite differently. The code doing that isn't exactly secret: http://www.virtualbox.org/svn/vbox/trunk/src/VBox/HostDrivers/VBoxNetFlt/win/cfg/VBoxNetCfg.cpp -- the trouble seems to be with the INetCfg interface.

comment:29 by michaln, 9 years ago

And again no trouble with a clean install (Windows 10 Enterprise x64) on an older Dell Latitude laptop. That one has an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 and Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection. Sandy Bridge CPU.

comment:30 by gabe.rdgz, 9 years ago

I'm experiencing a similar problem, I just install virtual box and I can't do any update.

When I create a virtual machine it "aborted" when I setup a bridge network. But it does not aborted when I disable the network adaptor.

The big difference in my problem is that I'm using Linux Debian Wheezy i686 as a host and as new VM.

@michaln: As discussed earlier, I installed Windows 10 Pro 64-bit and VirtualBox 5.0.3 within a VM on my machine that shows the described problems, and within the VM, host-only adapters are enumerated properly, see screenshot: https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/14437/win10_64-vbox5-hostonlyifs.png

comment:33 by Aleksey Ilyushin, 9 years ago

Please try a test build available at https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-5.0.3-102229-Win.exe. While it does not solve any issues, it writes some information into VBoxSVC.log which may help to determine what goes wrong during enumeration. After installing it, just do "VBoxManage list hostonlyifs" or run GUI and provide the resulting VBoxSVC.log. Thanks a lot in advance!

comment:35 by Aleksey Ilyushin, 9 years ago

Thanks a lot! Now it is clear that enumeration fails because we cannot obtain INetCfg interface. We will continue investigation to find the cause. Meanwhile it would be nice if somebody else provided the log to see if others encounter the same issue.

comment:37 by michaln, 9 years ago

For comparison, I uploaded VBoxSVC.log from a working ThinkPad W500. For kicks I installed AnyConnect but it failed to break the adapter enumeration.

comment:38 by gregor, 9 years ago

@michaln: Please note that AnyConnect did not break adapter enumeration on my machine as I have tested this several times on a completely fresh installation of Windows 10 (i.e. without having AnyConnect installed yet).

comment:39 by michaln, 9 years ago

I didn't think it did (or I'd ask you to try without :) ). It's clear that some systems without AnyConnect are failing too, and as far as we can tell that includes systems with no 3rd-party software.

Unfortunately the error is coming from somewhere deep down in the guts of COM/RPC, which probably not even Microsoft understands anymore.

comment:40 by andyp1973, 9 years ago

I have run the test as defined above (VBoxManage list hostonlyifs) and whereas in other peoples log files they are showing many line of NetIfList issues between the output of the USB Unknown device and the host DNS information there is nothing in mine. It just shows:

00:00:00.238145 USB: Unknown USB device detected ( idVendor: 0x0000, idProduct: 0x0000 ). Please, report the idVendor and idProduct to vbox.org. 00:00:00.238145 USB: Unknown USB device detected ( idVendor: 0x0000, idProduct: 0x0000 ). Please, report the idVendor and idProduct to vbox.org. 00:00:00.540051 HostDnsMonitor: old information 00:00:00.540051 no server entries 00:00:00.540051 no search string entries 00:00:00.540051 no domain set

Is that a good sign?

Andy.

comment:41 by michaln, 9 years ago

Andy: No, that's not a good sign, you probably ran an older revision. It's listed at the top of VBoxSVC.log; r102229 should be the right one.

gregor, everyone: Could you please check what happens when VBoxSVC is restarted (without rebooting the host or anything)? Does the enumeration again work initially (all those NetIfList lines) and then starts failing ("failed to acquire INetCfg interface")? Or does it fail even the first time?

in reply to:  41 comment:42 by gregor, 9 years ago

@michaln: Restarting the VBoxSVC service doesn't make a difference: First I restarted my host machine, started VirtualBox and verified that host-only adapters are not enumerated in the GUI (see log file: https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/14437/VBoxSVC-Host-Restarted_Gregor_2015-08-20.log). Then I restarted the VBoxSVC service (by killing the process in Task Manager and starting VBoxSVC.exe) and used the VBoxManage command to list host-only adapter, also without any success (see log file: https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/14437/VBoxSVC-Service-Restarted_Gregor-2015-08-20.log). In both cases, the following lines related to the INetCfg interface are logged:

00:00:00.289723          netIfListHostAdapters: failed to acquire INetCfg interface (0x8001076b)

Not sure about if this is related, but the following lines are logged only in the first case (after the host machine was restarted):

00:00:00.543417          ERROR [COM]: aRC=E_FAIL (0x80004005) aIID={4afe423b-43e0-e9d0-82e8-ceb307940dda} aComponent={MediumWrap} aText={Unknown exception

comment:43 by michaln, 9 years ago

The MediumWrap error is totally unrelated (happens on working systems too). But basically what I was after was what happens after the first "NetIfList: building the list of interfaces". And it looks like the first invocation works, but the subsequent ones consistently fail. On a working system, it works every time.

Yup, count me an idiot I was running r102224 which looked a lot like r102229 before the coffee had kicked in properly! :-)

Having installed the correct version it looks much the same as everyone else with a couple of references to:

comment:50 by Aleksey Ilyushin, 9 years ago

Please try out this test build and provide VBoxSVC.log. The build is not likely to work either, but it avoids redundant calls to query/release INetCfg and provides some additional logging.

Guys, please, do not use any creative solutions, like compatibility modes, etc. The stuff is supposed to work as is. If you have trouble installing the build, just report it, do not try to get around it in some non-standard way. It is very hard to diagnose issues that are introduced by some "magic" solutions to the problems that are not supposed to happen in the first place.

One more thing: please, uninstall the previous build before installing the new one. Note that the "upgrade" procedure preserves existing host-only adapters. Although it is completely normal, it complicates things further, should something go wrong.

Same issue here, win10, tested on build 102322 and 102096. With some combination of magic I am able to create the host-only interfaces, however they are not listed on the dropdown list. Also unable to have it bridged. I manually edited the vm's xml config file to put outside the DisabledModes scope, and running the VM gives: "Could not start the machine xxxxxxxx because the following physical network interfaces were not found:

Intel(R) Centrino(R) Advanced-N 6205 (adapter 1)

You can either change the machine's network settings or stop the machine."

Under "Network Connections" I do have 3 host-only interfaces, however now listing via vboxmanage doesnt find any nor bridged ones. Wth ???

Just in case this may help. After installing, I edit the "network connections" Virtualbox Host-only ethernet adapter -> Properties -> Install -> Service -> Oracle -> VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver -> Have Disk -> ... browse to "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netlwf" and select VBoxNetLwf.inf

===> Could not add the requested feature. The error is: The specified module could not be found.

Quite strange ...

It roughly translates as...

  1. Download and install Visual Studio 2015
  1. Download and install WDK (Windows Driver Kit) 10 (you may also need the Windows SDK too).
  1. Compile the "BindView" sample from the Windows Driver Samples
  1. Run the test as requested by aleksey
  1. Report results
  1. Drink coffee

Thanks a lot for confirming that bindview works properly! This build contains an alternative implementation of adapter enumeration and it should work on your systems. Please try it out and report if it fixes the issue.

comment:79 by andyp1973, 9 years ago

Hi aleksey,

I have run the installer as an upgrade from 5.0.3-102322 to 5.0.51-102372 and ExtPack 5.0.3-102322 and can confirm the following:

  1. The two VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapters are listed under File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host-only Networks.
  1. Selecting "Bridged Adapter" under the Virtual Machine settings lists my wired gigabit Ethernet adapter, TAP adapter (from OpenVPN I think) and Bluetooth device. The bridged adapter list doesn't show my Intel Centrino wireless adapter.

Having looked in the log file then contains the following:

00:00:00.247007          Enumerating {EABB928C-E18B-459D-A098-6ED9615E0CBC}
00:00:00.247007          Skipped non-Ethernet 'Wi-Fi'

I will attach the VBoxSvc log file and will do some more testing.

Andy.

Update...

If I try to delete either of the two pre-existing Host-Only Ethernet adapters then it fails with:

Result Code: E_FAIL (0x80004005)

Likewise, trying to create a new Host-Only Ethernet adapter fails in the same way.

comment:81 by gregor, 9 years ago

@aleksey:

I have uninstalled the previous test build and installed 5.0.51-102372:

  • Host-only adapters are enumerated
  • Bridged adapters and host-only adapters can be assigned to existing VMs
  • I do not get any error message when I delete host-only adapters. AFAIK, VirtualBox only created one host-only interface on installation. Maybe @andyp1973's problem is related to performing an upgrade installation?

I can also confirm @andyp1973's problem about the bridge adapter list: My wireless adapter is also missing in the selection box:

Hang on, the fix is coming...

comment:83 by andyp1973, 9 years ago

Uninstalling the ExtPack and VirtualBox 5.0.51-102372 has removed all of the instances of Host-Only network adapters.

Reinstalling 5.0.51-102372 with ExtPack 5.0.3-102322 has created one Host-Only adapter (according to the dialog in VirtualBox) although Windows Networking (Network Connections) shows two adapters associated with VirtualBox, one called "Ethernet" the other called "VirtualBox Host-Only Network".

I still see the same errors with trying to add or delete Host-Only adapters despite the uninstall and reinstall but interestingly the VirtualBox adapter named "Ethernet" seems to have disappeared from the Network Connections list.

5.0.51-102372 appears to be a big step in the right direction so thanks for the development teams efforts to date.

Andy.

comment:84 by Aleksey Ilyushin, 9 years ago

WiFi adapters should be listed properly in this build.

Andy, the error you are getting is "access denied". Could there be something unusual about your user account or UAC settings on your system? I suggest uninstalling VirtualBox, then removing all host-only adapters by choosing "Uninstall" action for each "VirtualBox Host-Only ..." adapter in Device Manager. Reboot the system (just to make sure there are no stale processes and drivers, not strictly necessary) and install the build I mentioned above.

comment:85 by andyp1973, 9 years ago

I can confirm that my wireless adapter is now listed in the bridged adapter settings.

Having done an uninstall, checked that all the Host-Only adapters had been removed from device manager (they were), rebooted and then installed the 5.0.51-102375 build with ExtPack 5.0.3-102322 I can now create and delete Host-Only adapters from within VirtualBox without error.

I do have some odd UAC settings to stop Windows nagging me to perform tasks I have just asked it to do so the "User Account Control Settings" slider is all the way down at "never notify" and there are some other changes made through gpedit.msc to stop the administrator elevations dialogs appearing when I copy into C:\Program Files and other similar directories.

I will start to fire up the VMs now and check they are all working. Any recommendations on the best guest additions to go with this version?

Thanks for all your efforts on getting this one working...

Andy.

I can confirm that with VirtualBox 5.0.51-102375 and ExtPack 5.0.3-102322 that I can successfully power up my VMs and I have verified that the bridged networking works as expected with both my wired and wireless adapters with Windows Server 2003R2 64bit guest and openSUSE 12.3 32bit guest.

As far as I can tell this version is a winner! Well done!

comment:92 by andyp1973, 9 years ago

I'm not a VirtualBox expert but your log file is littered with file not found issues which I would guess means either your VM files are now missing or this version of VirtualBox isn't looking in the right place.

Either way, I'm not sure how that relates directly to this bug which is about host-only adapter enumeration but you may want to verify that all the files are where you think you left them!

giusi,

Your problem appears to be not related to enumeration of network adapters as it was pointed out by Andy. You should try to find a more appropriate bug in the tracker or create your own. Please understand that our time resources are limited and we cannot help everybody at the same time. When you do find or create a ticket upload VM log there and describe what error you get when you start VM. But please do not use this ticket unless you have trouble with listing the adapters.

It's usually better and faster, if issues get first addressed in the VirtualBox forums, a lot more eyes there.

If you're seeing a problem on something that resembles a closed ticket for more than 3 years, maybe you're not having the same problem. How about opening a new thread in the VirtualBox on Windows Hosts section of the forums?

Please be sure to mention that you came from the bug tracker and include the ticket number.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
