The box is not able to report an address for WinRM to connect to yet.

[Kaleb Albee]

I am running into an issue where winrm seems to be timing out way too soon.  It keeps giving me the following error, however I have an ip address for the guest machine.

Has anyone ran into this problem before, my time out setting is pretty big?  

###### ERROR ###

The box is not able to report an address for WinRM to connect to yet.

WinRM cannot access this Vagrant environment. Please wait for the

Vagrant environment to be running and try again.

As an update, i am also getting with a windows guest the following:  I have had to go in to the vagrant core plugin communicators and add  to communicators/winrm/communicator.rb 
winrm_info = nil unless winrm_info[:host] =~ /^(?:[0-9]{1,3}\.){3}[0-9]{1,3}$/ at approx line 36.

I have also tried to update the helper.rb to raise a winrmnotready exception, however that causes the system to fault out or I think time out.

I noticed the IP is being updated, but it take something like 40 minutes
