Virtualbox host Only Network Error Failed to save host network interface parameter - Cannot change gateway IP of host only network

 

In newer versions this is a very stubborn issue.  Here is how you fix it.

Step 1 - Create networks.conf

sudo mkdir /etc/vbox/

sudo vi /etc/vbox/networks.conf

put this in:

In our case we can use the slash /16 range of 192.168.0..0, change the subnet according to your needs

* 192.168.0.0/16

Step 2 - Restart and close Virtualbox

service virtualbox restart

now reopen the GUI.

Edit your host-only network, you will find the IP changes back.  However, if you close and open Vbox you should see that it did indeed set.
