Odd. I don't see this problem on my systems. I run both NAT interfaces as well as
Bridged....mostly Bridged. I am, however, using the VBox supplied by Oracle and not the
one from the Fedora repositories.

deleting all VBox settings would do the trick, but I do not know to do
that, in case that is possible.
