VirtualBox network blues

If it happen to you like me and you install the latest VirtualBox version on Windows 7. Setup is running smoothly and everything looks fine. But when you try something like the docker toolbox and all you get some strange errors. This could point to a problem with the network stack.

In this case remove your current installation and do a restart. Now start the install, e.g. via "Run" like this:

VirtualBox-x.x.x-yyyyy-Win.exe -msiparams NETWORKTYPE=NDIS5

This tells the installer to use the older version of the VirtualBox network stack. Using this the docker toolbox works like charm.
