id summary reporter owner description type status component version resolution keywords cc guest host 845 Starting VirtualBox breaks host networking zorko "Just by starting VirtualBox, without running any virtual machine, my wireless network adapter stops working. If I run ipconfig/all, everything looks exactly the same but the interface is no longer working. I can work around it by resetting the interface with: {{{ netsh interface set interface ""Wireless Network Connection"" disabled }}} followed by {{{ netsh interface set interface ""Wireless Network Connection"" enabled }}} After this network connections will work form both the host and the guest. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium as the host. One thing perhaps worth mentioning is that although the wireless adapter is built-in in my notebook, it looks to Windows as a USB adapter." defect closed network VirtualBox 1.5.2 duplicate network vista usb other Windows
