I've forgotten to say about the Issue I had with Windows 8 CP and VBox. If you put the computer in sleep and resume it, wifi will not work until you restart. An uninstall helped me solve the problem. Let's see how it goes with Windows 8 RP.
It may not be something specific to Win 8. Two VBox releases ago, I've started having an issue where restoring a VM from a snapshot sometimes kills network connectivity.
When this happens, I need to disable the network on the VM, reboot the machine, then re-enable the network. Simply disabling, then re-enabling the network doesn't fix the issue, nor does rebooting without disabling/re-enabling the network.
This can be a bit of a pain as the reason I snapshotted the machine was because I didn't want to shut it down...
This is using Win XP Pro, and like I say, the issue started cropping up two VBox updates ago.
It seems very similar to the issue you describe. Has your issue been an ongoing thing, or is it recent like mine?
