I have spend all day to solve this error since none of the answers worked for me.
I found out that oracle virtual box doesn’t install the network adapter correctly in windows 8.1
Solution:
- Delete all previous virtual box adapters
- Go to device manager and click “Action” > “Add legacy hardware”
- Install the oracle virtual box adapters manually (my path was
C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\drivers\network\netadp\VBoxNetAdp.inf)
Now that virtual box adapters is installed correctly, it needs to be setup correctly. (the following solution is like many other solution in here)
- Start Oracle VM VirtualBox and go to “File” > “Preferences” > “Network” > “Host-only Network”
- Click edit
- Set IPv4
