VirtualBox Issue: virtualbox changed my Computer Name's ip address in Windows
- by suud
I had installed virtualbox 4.2.2 in Windows 7.
My Computer Name is: MY-PC
My IP address (using ipconfig /all command) is: 192.168.1.101
My IP is dynamic and I set DNS to google dns (8.8.8.8)
When I ping MY-PC, I got this result:
Pinging MY-PC [192.168.56.1] with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.56.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=128

My virtualbox was not running and I expected the ip adress of MY-PC is 192.168.1.101, not 192.168.56.1
Then I run command: nbtstat -a MY-PC and I got this result:
VirtualBox Host-Only Network:
Node IpAddress: [192.168.56.1] Scope Id: []

So it seems virtualbox caused this problem. I want to know how to change back my Computer Name's ip address to 192.168.1.101 (or any ip address that set by my internet connection)?
