Description
I'm running VirtualBox on Ubuntu Feisty host, WinXP as guest. I'm using a bridged network (I used to use NAT but unfortunately Windows Messenger doesn't get through), with the default settings for Ubuntu as explained on this site. Everything works fine ... except that when I "save" my VirtualBox session (rather than "power off"), my host internet connection is down. Firing the saved VB session up again restores everything back to normal. I really don't know what's happening but my guess is that VirtualBox changes the routing somehow, and then when a session is powered off, the usual host settings are restored. However when a session is saved, perhaps it's not doing that? Anyway, I don't know if this is a bug or there's a workaround.

Sorry, but it sounds to me you have misconfigured your bridge or tap device. VirtualBox doesn't change your network setup.
You might want to post your bridge setup on the forum (http://forums.virtualbox.org/index.php) and ask for some advise there. I seem to remember others have posted their setup as well.
