additional info: build 16.26.0.1739 and this happens only using bridged mode on VM

NAT works fine, bridge mode is required due to access to the local lan

turning BD firewall off enables Internet traffic

please your advice?

PARTIALLY SOLVED!!!!

goto adapters, choose trusted and stealth off

and suddenly the bridge is working!!!!!

only thing is that these settings are not persistent :-(

after reboot or hybernation these settings go back to default :-((((

To solve this follow these steps-

1. choose "Manage Adapters" and then select off for Stealth Mode.

2. Go to Firewall Setting and Adapter Rules. Double click network and enter the IP of guest os in address box and then select Allowed and OK.
