VirtualBox has suddenly lost internet access on all virtualmachines...

I'm using an old version however, 2.1.4, as I do not want to lose my virtual machines.

I have not changed any settings, in fact I tried setting up a new windows VM today, and even that did not have net access! I can use shares ok, and I've got my network adaptor set to NAT. How can I fix this?

you don't lose your virtual machines when you upgrade virtualbox

I think the older versions had problems with wireless connections?

Incase you've changed from wired to wireless

I've tried upgrading virtualbox before, and my old VM's have not worked after upgrading... I may try again however, on backups of the hard disk image files.

Thanks, I've been using wireless before and after the networking stopped working... I'll try rebooting my router and a few other things, I'd really like to fix this.
