Ticket #18184, comment 6

v2	v3
1	1	True, initially I forgot mentioning that changing the guest's MAC helps with the problem.[[BR]]
2	2	I would need to retest and observe over a longer time frame if it is ALWAYS true, but my experience is that if bridged networking over a WiFi connection fails that I can then shut down the guest, change the guest's MAC address via the VBOX Gui and then restart the guest and using the WiFi connection from the guest will work.My vague assumption is that that will somehow allow the ARP request from the guest to succeed.I don't know if this effect is somehow related to what the host does, I am using Windows 10 as the host (but in that respect Windows 7 behaved in the same way).[[BR]]
3		Maybe somebody else with the same problem can try that same thing as see if it makes a difference for him ?

	4	[[BR]]
	5	By the way: all network interfaces (wired and wireless) on the host get their IP address via DHCP. It is only the guest that uses a static IP address. Maybe that is relevant ...
