Description (last modified by )
When switching between networking modes on a VM, VBoxManage will apparently store the previous modes under the <DisabledModes>
tag in the .vbox
file. I recently ran into a situation where the BridgedInterface
mode was still being erroneously applied even though it was listed under DisabledModes
and caused host-only networking to break (unidirectional connectivity). This required me to manually edit the .vbox
file and remove the BridgeInterface
line from DisabledModes
.
For example, the following prevents all packets from guest -> host:
<Adapter slot="2" enabled="true" MACAddress="0002BC56CB29" cable="true" promiscuousModePolicy="AllowAll" type="virtio"> <DisabledModes> <BridgedInterface name="tap0"/> <InternalNetwork name="intnet"/> <NATNetwork name="NatNetwork"/> </DisabledModes> <HostOnlyInterface name="vboxnet1"/> </Adapter>
Removing the <BridgedInterface name="tap0"/>
line under DisabledModes
allows host-only networking to work correctly.
It seems some items under DisabledModes
are still processed, which sounds like a bug.
