The virtual box configured with the Vagrantfile from this workspace is
connected by a VirtualBox host-only adapter with the IP
192.168.252.1 and the subnet 255.255.255.0. The box itself has the
IP address 192.168.252.100.

Windows and VirtualBox have issues
with the creation and removal of host-only adapters. Under some circumstances,
Windows tends to ignore the IP/Subnet configuration, given to the
adapter. When that happens, Windows gives the adapter an APIPA
(Automatic Private IP Address) address of the form To workaround this issue, you need to create a correct adapter only once and prevent Vagrant from destroying and recreating it all the time which might cause possible errors. To achieve that, create a virtual box definition, and register it with the correct adapter. Vagrant will then skip the removal of that adapter and the recreation of a new one. As a nice side effect, you won't need to click away the UAC pop-ups and do not need administrator rights anymore. The box itself neither requires any additional hard disk space, RAM or OS nor will it ever be started, it just blocks the adapter. |
