Lost Network Interface Virtualbox on Win7


Yesterday I have installed Virtualbox on my win7 notebook and i have seen, that VB have install a network interface on the win7 network properties.

After installing Ubuntu guest on a new VB-instance, ubuntu cannot connect to the internet. Later into the night i have read somewhere that i should deactivate the network-interface and re-activate it.

So, i have deactivate this network-interface on win7 and after that, i have lost this and cannot re-activate it. The VB-Guest cannot connect now over bridget and so on.

How i get the network interface back into win7 for working the vb guest over bridge?

  • 1) Open device manager
    2) Under Network interfaces
    You will find your lost adapter.
    3) Right click it and click enable.
