What is closing? I saw programmer from Sun/Oracle wrote that issue was fixed. What does it mean - I can use the same version of VB and OS or what fixed?

Did you read my previous comment? aleksey asked if you could check if the error is still reproducible with VBox 4.0.2. As we saw no response, we closed this bug.

Note that often it is not possible to isolate a problem. As there were several networking fixes since version 3.0.6 (the latest released version is 4.0.12), it is appropriate to ask you for a new test.

Please reopen this ticket only if you tested VirtualBox 4.0.12 and still experience the same problem.
