Actually, I don't think it does (have access to the network). In the output for IPCONFIG, the gateway IP is null (empty), and the IPv4 IP starts with "169". I have two things to try (the network stack reset, and deleting the adapter from device manager). I'm hopefull that one of those two things work. As it stands right now, nothing network related works in the Windows VM.

Before you delete the adapter, change your VM to use NAT instead of Bridged Adapter. I'm sure that NAT will work, if not then your problem is with the host, but changing and then changing it back to Bridged Adapter might be enough to reset the VM.

I don't think it's the host because my Linux VM works just fine as far as the network adapter is concerned. I can see the host box, and the network shares with it.

Also try disabling and then re-enabling the adapter. I have done that a few times and things just magically started working again.

Already tried that. No change.

BTW, the IPv4 address indeed starts with "169"...

I did have a similar occurrence, managed to get it back with a bit of mucking around
not sure what got it working, possibly one of:
1. in windows delete the network device (dev manager) and reboot to force it to reinstall
2. try changing the VB network adapter type or/and connection type (i.e. NAT, & advanced settings for card type) - windows should then load the new driver type (all stock settings).
3. I also remember at one time adding a second adapter (again different card and connect type, i.e. NAT), disabling the first, boot up - it connected, then put it back
It's back to how it was before failed, one of the above did something, eventually it just worked again. (cant remember which above formula did it - was fiddling about with it half distracted at the time so didn't pay attention to which of above I did last).
In short I farted about with the various settings on both parties
... believe it was all about making windows and/or virtualbox refresh/re-init their settings.

I tend to assign static IPs to all my VMs. If for nothing else, it becomes obvious that the OS thinks something has changed if suddenly your IP no longer matches what you'd expect. When that happens, then changing the settings back to what you know used to work usually gets everything working again.

Have you tried copying the default gateway addy from the Lubuntu VM and assigning it to the windows VM, then setting a fixed IP in the same range for the windows VM?

I was trying to avoid setting a static IP. That will, however, be my last resort if deleting the adapter and/or resetting the IP stack don't work. I considered setting a static IP last night, but I see no reason why the Windows VM shouldn't work just as well as the Linux VM does.

You should at least set the default gateway. Without that, it might not be able to figure out where to go.

With DHCP, you don't have to (and can't) set it explicitly.

Sure, but it's windows, and windows networking has always been notorious for not knowing where to look (largely because it guesses at values based on previous config, which, with a VM, can get slightly random).
Set the default gateway, reboot the machine within the VM, then go back to autoconfig. It might behave itself, then (once you've rebooted it again -- windows networking just can't be happy without reboots).

And the weirdness continues...
When I got home from work, I started the VM, and now everything is fine - without me having to do anything. I'm at a loss.

Using Windows is like having kids. You've gotta have it, and it can make you happy sometimes, but mostly it's just a lot of extra work and uncertainty.

Amazing build for a game I want to do now. I have a ton of Legos (not literally), so I could probably build something cool. Or I could do it in Minecraft on a server. That might be easier. Or not.

Two different beasts - lego and minecraft. Both would be nice, but if you want physical hands on experience then Lego is your main option.
Minecraft would be fun, and would look better than Lego in my opinion, but I think Lego would be more challenging, which attracts me more.
or, you can do both.

Maybe not as visually impressing, but nevertheless the greatest Lego build I ever saw, is The LEGO Turing Machine[^].
Maybe it is because I am a computer guy. I guess my mother would have said "Huh? What's that?"

Given I'm now a one-eyed cat looking in a seafood store [^], barely able to spot a ripe fish-head in the back alley ... how I got in there is a mystery, perhaps a mistake, but ...
I'd like to thank these folks, who I believe go out of their way to help others in QA, and the language forums:
the one-and-only-river-unto-his-people OriginalGriff, Richard Deeming, Richard MacCutchan, Maciej Los, RickZeeland, Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan
And, I'd like to give a deep wai, the Thai gesture of respect, to the immortals: Pete O, Marc Clifton, Mehdi Gholam
At the risk of sounding like the old f**t I have become: knowing the future is in the hands of people like Afzaal, Raddevus, and the other "rising stars" here, is a joy !
