5 | | 1. You need a clean install; by default, the network adapters have all network protocols enabled and tcp/ip is set to auto (dhcp enabled). |
6 | | 2. Access the Properties window of one adapter (Local Area Connection) |
7 | | 3. Uncheck all the following protocols: Client for Microsoft Networks, QoS Packet Scheduler, File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks, Internet Protocol Version 6, Link Layer Topology Discovery IO Driver, Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder. Don't close the window yet. |
8 | | 4. Access the Internet Protocol Version 4 Properties windows and manually set an IP address and a gateway (eg. 192.168.0.123, 255.255.255.0) |
9 | | 5. Click OK, then Close. After clicking Close, the guest could hang. If it doesn't, try the same steps with the following adapter. If that doesn't work, reset the settings of all the adapters (TCP/IP V4 to DHCP auto, and recheck all protocols), shutdown the VM, then restart it. |
