I was configuring my VirtualBox preferences and fixing a problem (regarding different extension pack versions; irrelevant) when I suddenly realized that even though I fixed my original problem I suddenly could not connect to the VirtualBox website from my host computer.
I know that while fixing my original problem, I was still able to connect to the website.
I then tried to enter the following commands:
C:UsersAdmin>ping virtualbox.org

So I definitely have a slow yet working Internet connection. I tried uninstalling VirtualBox and the drivers, resetting my network adapter, clearing my DNS cache and restarting my computer yet I still can’t connect to the website. I know that my hosts file is in mint condition so it might not help.
Machine information:
- OS: Windows 7 x64
- IPv4 DNS: 8.8.8.8
- VirtualBox version: 6.1.18-142142
Are there any ways to solve this? Thanks in advance 🙂
