Internet works perfectly on host (Ubuntu 13.04, 32 bit, fully updated) but cannot connect to internet on guest Windows 7 (under Virtualbox 4.2).Have tried NAT and Bridge Network - none worked. I had internet connection in the guest OS a couple of months ago, but I haven't tried the virtualbox since and now it's gone for some reason. I would be grateful if someone could help me re-connect the windows OS back online (without the need to format my computer or to uninstall and re-install the guest OS).Thanks!
At that point you should be able to start a web browser in your VM and get a connection. This video provided the information I listed above, even though they are using a Windows 7 host with a Windows Server guest.
Another solution: If you are on windows Host, Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections right click any of the Virtualbox adapter and select Diagnose, let it do its thing and if it finds some anomaly with the adapter it will give you a prompt to reset the adapter by Apply the recommended solution/changes , you opt in for that, after its done, you most probably should have the network back to normal in your virtual machine.
For wireless to work, in my machines anyway, the WiFi MAC address in Settings must match the hardware, and wlan0 must be selected (when host Internet comes through wireless).
I had the same problem with a VirtualBox VM (5.9.14) that was working previously and stopped working after a shutdown/reboot. In my case the VB option "cable connected" got disabled for some obscure reason.Enabling that again made everything work again (no need for promiscuous mode in this case since I'm not doing anything requiring this - no WireShark or anything of that kind)Bottom line: do not assume that the Network configuration for your VM is correct. If you have problems, review that part of the configuration.
I ended up finding that my issue was in regards to my Network Center. Ensure that the wifi you are connected to is sharing internet, with the VirtualBox wifi adapter. This configuration is under the adapter settings in Network and Sharing Center.
When I'm working from home I switch on my PC which is already connected to an ethernet cable: GlobalProtect connects almost immediately (usually to Europe Primary) and I'm able to access my company network drives, folders and remote desktops. However every operation is very slow: network folders take a lot of time to open on explorer, when I launch a RDP connection it takes a lot of time to log onto the the virtual machine and, above all, when I need to connect to oracle databases through ODBC it takes a lot of time to resolve such connections.
If I disconnect the ethernet cable, activate the WiFi connection (from same Router and same ISP) and wait for GlobalProtect to reconnect then everything start to work as expected at a much faster speed: network drives open with a blink of an eye, ODBC Connections are resolved immediately and virtual machines are launched istantly.
Infat now the Ipconfig looks different with respect to the first cabled connection when I switched on the PC: the Ethernet 3 does not have the IPv6 and Temporary IPv6 Addresses and it mirrors the settings of the Wireless LAN Adapter seen just above.
I really need your help to sort this issue out because it is very frustrating: each morning I need to connect with Lan Cable, then disconnect it, switch on WiFi, wait for GlobalProtect to connect, then switch off WiFi and finally connect LAN Cable again.
1. Can you try to disable IPv6 binding on your OS? In windows run ncpa.cpl, right click & properties of 'PANGP virtual Ethernet adapter' (or Ethernet 3) and unselect IPv6 binding. This should completely remove IPv6. Reboot and test.
In your Globalprotect portal configuration, 'Resolve All FQDNs Using DNS Servers Assigned by the Tunnel (Windows Only)' option if set to 'Yes' - will enforce the client machine to resolve all the DNS queries through the tunnel.
If set to 'No'. This allows Windows endpoints to send DNS queries to the DNS server set on the physical adapter if the initial query to the DNS server configured on the gateway is not resolved. This option retains the native Windows behavior to query all DNS servers on all adapters recursively but can result in long wait times to resolve some DNS queries.
The first item is on your workstation and can be tested locally but the second item could potentially affect all users. I think your IT can see if this is the cause of your issues by nslookup commands on your workstation in ETH/WiFi mode. In addition - check the firewall logs to see if and where your IPv6 packets go
I've tried solution 1. and it worked! First I tried disabling the IPv6 Protocol on PANGP virtual Ethernet adapter (which is Ethernet 2 on my configuration) and issue was still present. Then I also disabled IPv6 Protocol on the 'real' connection, so Ethernet 3 and this time it worked!
Turning off IPv6 binding on one interface should not turn it off on another.
So, turning it off on the GP interface (Ethernet 2), that should not turn it off on the physical LAN Ethernet (Ethernet 3) yet comparing the last screenshot to the first few, IPv6 is completely disabled.
But one thing I notice from the first post is that the Ethernet 3 seems to be getting issued an IPv6 from the router from somewhere in addition to its link-local IPv6 address, first with what might be a DHCP suffix as the temporary IPv6, then switching to MAC based IP. Not sure if IPv6 prefix of FDD7 has any IP type significance like FE80 has.
I bet too that because of the IPv6 on your local network that is not link-local, much of the traffic that should be going over the tunnel, such as DNS requests, isn't going over it but rather to the internet through the IPv6 configuration.
You could even be getting less than possible internet performance with that IPv6 setup.
Since most probably do not have a 'legitimate' IPv6 network configuration at our homes, I don't think this is a widespread issue that his company can fix.
As for the temporary IPv6 address, I found this which indicates Windows can generate random generated IPv6 suffixes for purposes of privacy. Seems it does this along with the one based on MAC.

My wifi driver (Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160 MHz) has completely ceased to function. I've tried running the Driver Assistant tool multiple times, and installing the newest version of the driver has not helped at all.
I'm not very technologically inclined and I'm having a really hard time understanding what to fix here.
What mean for you "manully shutdown", "manually restart" - I usually go at Windows icon then Power -> Restart/Shutdown.
Maybe you can check my components at my profile, I install "Intel Driver & Support Assistant". I am Computer engineer and work like Web developer, so I know some stuff. I also bring PC to local PC experts but did not helped me. Motherboard seller said that he did not have fault Motherboard like this, usually is something bigger. He also think this is driver issue/conflict and he can send me new motherboard.
I have a similar problem with the Intel Wifi 6 AX201 160Mhz, it still doesn't work despite following the same instructions, I recently did a fresh install of Windows 11 and to date it's the only device that doesn't work. The strangest thing about the issue is that Bluetooth doesn't work either and it doesn't appear in the list of devices, can you help me?
For the people with issues make sure you really follow each step as Scott mentioned and, for me, after the new drivers are installed I had to shut down the pc on the power button otherwise would still fail for some reason.
I have a Dell Optiplex 7090 with AX201 network adapter, been having problems lately, at least 3 months of this. I have a huawei AX3 Wifi 6 router, before it was working fine, usually got 2.1gbps speed, suddenly AX201 dropped. I have a notebook with AX201 showing similar symptoms.
The symptoms that I found were that I couldn't access Wifi 6 5GHz, only 2.4GHz.
Apart from wifi 6, I also have a wifi 5 router TPlink C8 which also worked fine before, on average it can get speeds of up to 1.3gbps.
After the issue of not being able to connect to 5GHz wifi 6, I tried connecting to Wifi 5, it turns out that the highest speed is only 190mbps.
I have tried the steps given here, I applied on a notebook and Dell Optiplex 7090, but it didn't work, the symptoms remain the same.
I have another older notebook but the wifi card has been replaced using the AX210, it doesn't show the same symptoms as the AX201.
Finally I tried changing the wifi card on my Dell Optiplex 7090 using AX210, the above symptoms disappeared, AX210 worked perfectly, connecting to Wifi 6 got 2.1gbps, and to wifi 5 got 1.3gbps on the same wifi network as AX201 used.
