Here is command line which prints your full VirtualBox configuration:
for i in $(vboxmanage list vms | awk '{print $2}'); do echo "INFO:
vboxmanage showvminfo $i"; vboxmanage showvminfo $i; donePost the output here if you are still stuck with the printer Please check the test for sensitive info - if you have any in the notes/description, and include only the problematic Windows VM if you have more than one configured - Tomas On Mon, 2017-10-09 at 18:19 -0700, Tomas Kuchta wrote: > Dennis, > I have another question: > > Do you need to connect to your windows VM from the host or another computer/phone on the network? > > > > I am thinking that it maybe easier to provide a guide how to configure you vBox network rather than to debug your issue - over this mailing list. > > > > If I would to provide guidance on fresh network configuration for unsupported and unpatched windows - I would probably suggest simple NAT setup as it provides little more isolation for you windows. > > > If you need to directly connect to your windows from the host or the network then bridging setup would be more appropriate. > > > Depending on your answer, there are pretty good guides available.
