VirtualBox Network Interface Won't Connect
 
________________________________________________________________________

Applicable Environment
________________________________________________________________________
  • Topic: VBox Network Interface - Connection Issues
  • SDP: 7.0.0, 7.1.0
  • Target: VirtualBox (VBox)
________________________________________________________________________

Question
________________________________________________________________________

After creating a network interface on my Virtual Box, I'm unable to connect to the VBox target. How can I fix this?

Recommendation
________________________________________________________________________

VBox (VirtualBox) versions newer than 6.1.18 and older 6.1.32 require you to create a network interface.
This doesn't work well with QNX and makes it difficult to connect to the target, requiring many steps every time you boot it.

The recommendation is to move to a a version of Virtual Box that is newer (or older) than the identified versions.

The network settings are:

Devices->Network->connected devices: Host-only Adapter
Name: VirtualBox Host-only Ethernet Adapter
