Thomas, if you have a VM with an IP address that starts with 169, it means that VM was unable to connect to your network's DHCP server and get a local IP address that starts with 172. You'll need to look into the VirtualBox software setup and double check your network configuration settings for the VMs.

 

Hi,here are my settings, anything I can do better ?


thanks for the tutorial I will try it tonight when I have time, hopefully this solves the issue

 

Networking in VirtualBox

Find out a detailed manual on how to connect VirtualBox to Internet easily and quickly

oracle-virtualbox.net

 

In your Windows Settings image with the Network tab, there's an exclamation at the bottom that says "invalid settings detected". Go into Control Panel>Programs and right click on VirtualBox and see if there's an option that says "Repair" instead of Uninstall or run the original VirtualBox installation file and select Repair.

 

DAMN MAN I THINK YOU FOUND THE ISSUE

But I don't see any .msi in my RDP, how can I fix that issue ? It asks me for a path and I get this error when I click on "OK"

 

This is looking for the .MSI file from the VirtualBox installer. In VirtualBox, go to the Toolbar, to Help/Check For Updates, Download the Update to repair it. Or Go to Settings/Apps/Apps and Features (Windows 10) Apps and Features (Windows 11) scroll down to Oracle Virtual box, Right click it and choose Modify. Try a Repair, the Repair will look for the .MSI file, if you still have the installer, but it might be easier to just Update it to the latest version.

 

Look in the Downloads folder on your PC or in the VM or download a copy here.
- Actually, it may be easier to run the repair from the installer after you download it.

 

I tried to look for update but it said there was no update to do, when running installer of @Fred Garvin I got this error :

Do you know which version of VBox you're using? There are links to previous versions on the link I posted. Try using the correct installer that matches the version of the software you're using now.

 

Just download it again : Downloads – Oracle VM VirtualBox

 

This is my current version, maybe I should try todowngrade ?

 

I reinstalled it 3 times, no watter what I do it just won't work. I'm wondering if this is not a problem internal to my rdp ?

 

First download it again, and reinstall it. If that fails, Uninstall it, Restart your computer and Reinstall it.

 

I tried downgrading it to 6.1 but it won't work also :

 

OK, so it looks like you're using the latest version and that's the one that's available in the link I gave you. What happens if you try running the repair install from Control Panel then point to the file you just downloaded if it asks for the installer?

 

Slow down... Don't downgrade the installation version. You most likely need to correct the problem with the virtual network adapter or the bridge. A repair install should do that if you can get it to work. If you run an IPconfig in the VM and get a 169.xxx address, your connection is not configured correctly so there's no reason to ping.

 

it looks for msi file but since the downloaded are exe I can't run anything

 

Honestly at this point I'm so desperate if you want I can give you my RDP logs to try it out ? I feel like this is not really a virtual box issue but the issue is more because this is a RDP and not a real computer
yeah sorry for that, I'm trying everything I can, thanks for your help tho, I really appreciate it

 

Maybe this has to do something ?
Btw I tried intalling all the driver I found in your tutorial, emulating 2new version of windows to check if maybe creating another VM works, I also tried restarting computer and reinstalling virtual studio like 5 times

I'm waiting for the new VM to create tu run my new tests

 

You're all over the place and that's not how to troubleshoot an issue. Stay focused on the root of the problem, which is your network settings. Shut down all your VMs, go to File in the menu then Host Network Manager. From there you can remove and recreate your network config. Make sure you're using the correct network card drivers that match what's in your PC. If you aren't familiar enough with the network config, you may have to uninstall the VM then reinstall it in order to go through the configuration wizard

 

Damn after running 987489 tests, I FINALLY found the solution, for anyone who need help on this issue here is the solution :

Well this is not really a solution to the bridge connexion but the Host Only adapter seems to work just fine, I still need to run tests but I need to sleep

thanks for everyone who helped me,if you know why Host onlyworks and not Bridge connexion, feel free to tell me

 

solution was also to install these drivers from this : Networking in VirtualBox

 

Great! Glad to hear you got it working.
