@brettolson, I’m seeing the following error in the log which is indicative of a firewall interfering with VirtualBox. ```auto dial-http tcp 127.0.0.1:49990: read tcp 127.0.0.1:49991->127.0.0.1:49990: wsarecv: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ``` Can you please temporarily disable any internet security suite or firewall that you may have running? ---

Heads up, this thread has gotten quite a bit off topic. I’m splitting out certain replies and I’m going to go ahead and lock this thread. If I don’t split out your post and you are still running into an issue, please open a new thread so we can better support you. ---
