As long as the issues regarding this topic are not resolved, I intend to sum up some workarounds working for me.
## This is a list of issues related to this topic:
- [#391](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/391)
- [#455](http://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/455)
- [#1064](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/1064)
- [#1066](https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/1066)
## Workarounds
1. Reboot using GUI mode and fix network issues manually
After rebooting in GUI mode, and issuing
$ /etc/init.d/networking/restart
will SOMETIMES solve the problem.
Some people also proposed to add the above line to /etc/r.local or similar. But in my experience, this will not finally solve the problem.
1. Reboot using shell provisioner to fix network issues
Instead of booting in GUI mode and fix networking issues manually, some people propose to doing this via shell provisioner:
config.vm.provision :shell, :inline => "/etc/init.d/networking restart"
I tried this several times, but it failed most often.
1. Recover VM state using VBoxManage
When changing the environment (Office, Home Office, Coop) which also means the network, the issue occurs everytime. The solution is to simply poweroff the machine by
VBoxManage controlvm <vm-id> poweroff
After this the vm can be started again by
vagrant up
