I think that is a Driver problem.

I must re-install the driver "oracle VM virtual network adapter driver Host-only Networking" after each reboot.

Thanks.

Same problem here. I can ping from Host to VM, but not from VM to Host. 4.1.0 and 4.1.2 works.

Actually it seems to be unable to ping from VM to HOST on bridged as well. Seems like the network config has been broken.

Narrowed it down to beeing a Windows Firewall issue.

Check that your Virtual Host Interface isn't in "public zone".

It seems like the installer doesn't set the *NdisDeviceType properly See the following:

Follow Brians guide, or just do it yourself through regedit.

To fix this, *NdisDeviceType should be set as DWORD with value 1 in the VirtualBox installer.

The proposed fix will be included into the next maintenance release. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
