Failed to open/create the internal network Vagrant on Windows10

If that doesn't work then the comment 20 on this And this suggests on https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14545#comment:20

Doing the following:

I was able to work around this problem for me with the following steps:
Open the VirtualBox Manager GUI.
Go to File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host-only Networks
Delete all entries in that list
Run vagrant up again

I did vagrant up on my host!

After many tries I was reinstall my Windows. The need Virtual Machine host driver (VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter in Windows Networking) was installing only on "clean" system that very curiously for me.

Vagrant also need Windows PowerShell version older then 3, but Win7 default using 2. You need update Windows Net Framework for install 3 and older version on Win7.

Good luck!

I was driving nuts last 2 days with this problem. Finally found a solution.

1.The Antivirus was causing the issue

2.You need to disable to Antivirus services on your windows system (You will need Admin access or get this done from your company IT Person)

3.Reinstall Docker tool box and start it (Admin mode) This works

I found all other solutions did not work, till I found this post: Laravel Vagrant Up SSH Problems

where adding the next code just before the end tag in YAML file did the trick

 config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
        vb.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--cableconnected1", "on"]
    end
