Sounds like both guest and host have the same IP and whenever one makes an ARP broadcast it will start to receive traffic from the remote end.
Check to see if the IP on the guest is the same as the host, if so, change it. --James -----Original Message----- From: Fredrik Bengtsson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, September 15, 2011 8:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [VBox-users] Host and guest competing for bridged network I'm running a Windows Server 2008 R2 guest under Windows 7 64-bit with VirtualBox 4.1.2. Network is set to bridged, using my computer's wifi connection (Centrino Advanced-N 6205). Virtualization extensions are enabled in host BIOS. When the guest is turned off, all traffic from the host to other machines works fine and always has. When the guest is running, the host and guest seem to "compete" for traffic. If I start a cmd window in both host and guest and start an identical infinite "ping /t <othermachine>" in them, it is perfectly clear that first the host is able to ping fine but the guest consistently gets "Request timed out", and 30 seconds later the host starts getting "Request timed out" but the guest starts to get the packets flowing. And then they switch back like 20 seconds later, and so on and so forth. At no time are they able to transmit at the same time. The time between switches seem to be completely random, but fairly short (less than a minute on average). Any ideas what may be causing this? It's infuriating, since this keeps killing remote desktop connections to the guest which we are relying for in a current project.
