Subject: [gentoo-user] which VM do you recommend?
Date: Tue, 30 Jul 2013 08:45:39 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1375166739.14240.0@numa-i.igpm.rwth-aachen.de> (raw)

Hi,

I've been running a Windows 7 (professional)guest  with Virtualbox on my
GenToo system for some years.
But recently I have a broken network either due to Virtualbox or due to  
some
(automatic) Windows updates.

The situation is more than strange.

Sometime using a backed up Virtualbox image the network seems to work  
but only for
a very short time (some minutes?)

Windows error analyzing tools don't see any network problems but it  
does not work.

Trying ping -n 100 <IP>  only a few packets come back but with a large  
delay (40-50 times
larger delay compared to ping on the GenToo host)

I've tried the most recent Virtualbox 4.2.16 as well the oldest one (in  
the tree) which is 4.1.26

So probably it looks best to me to change to a different (free) VM.
What do you recommend?

Many thanks for a hint,
Helmut
