With this done any time the network cable is unplugged then reconnected connectivity always returns. Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty -name Ethernet | Reset-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty Then use that name in the following command. Open powershell as admin then run the following command to find the name of your i219 network adapter

I only installed the device drivers (unticked 'Intel PROSet' and 'Intel Advanced Network Services' on the Setup Options page of the installer). I'm not sure this step is needed but it rules out old drivers being a problem.
#VIRTUALBOX NETWORK CABLE UNPLUGGED UPDATE#
Update to the latest drivers for the i219 network adapter, either through device manager or grab them from Intel (Same driver pack for both -V and -LM Intel). This should all be done on the host machine. Have tested on devices with both -V and -LM network adapters. Think I've found a solution, although only tested on a few devices so far.

See this forum post for the full dialogue: I take that to mean that, on Windows 10, my host is being notified of the pull event but not the plug event. "No operation can be performed on Local Area Connection while it has its media disconnected." After re-plug, trying an ipconfig /release and /renew cycle resulted in the error:

This leads me to believe the problem is on the host side and not the guest additions.īased on the investigation above I did a test where I did a pull/plug cycle.

Changing to a different bridged adapter (such as wireless) or a NAT adapter and then back to the original bridged adapter is enough to restore connectivity.VirtualBox Version: 5.0.X (don't remember when first observed) - 5.1.6Ībout a year ago, me and my colleagues started noticing a problem where a bridged network connection would work fine when a VM was started but unplugging the network cable and plugging it back in would result in VirtualBox never resuming the network connection on the guest. I'm experiencing similar problems on Windows 10 host. It's just when I disconnect the cable to more than 5 seconds and plug it back in, the pings do not pick back up. Note: If I put the PC to sleep (tested up to 5 mins) and wake it back up, pings pick back up. I've tried the various "Adapter Types" in VirtualBox to no avail. Restarting the guest Linux networking, a VM reboot, or a disable/enable of all Windows' interfaces does not regain network connectivity to the Linux VM. If it takes more than 5 seconds for me to plug the cable back in, the ping does not pick back up and I need to shut down the VM and cold boot it in order to restore networking between the VM and LAN. If I start a ping from within the Linux VM and disconnect the Ethernet cable from the bridged interface (Intel Ethernet Connection I219-LM) and plug it back in within 5 seconds, the ping picks back up where it left off. The VM can communicate with my LAN and vice versa. Networking functions 100% between the VM and LAN if I power on the VM with the Ethernet cable plugged in to the bridged interface (Intel Ethernet Connection I219-LM). 2 = Bridged Adapter (Intel Ethernet Connection I219-LM).1 = Host-only Adapter ( VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter).
