Hello;

I've recently moved from vbox on Windows to Ubuntu (headless) with phpvirtualbox

When the client machine starts, I cannot ping it - if I login to the console and restart networking, sometimes that gets it going

Otherwise, if I log into phpvirtualbox and change the network adapter from bridged to nat, save it, then change it back to bridged and save again.

Out of the 3 VM's I have running, 1 never has this problem (ie starts networking fine)

1 sometimes has the problem but then a second reboot sorts it 99% of the time and the 3rd without fail always starts without networking.

Is there a fix for this that I'm missing - or have I set something up wrong?

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Resolved by upgrading to vbox 5.1
