Hi and thanks for the response.
My issue is that the homestead improved vagrant box fails to boot. It goes through the initial setup just fine but fails booting the vm.
I’ve been using vagrant for over a year now without any issues and the original homestead boxes work.
I have changed IP’s on vagrant boxes too and I’ve had more than one running. This whole evolution was so I could install composer, and then laravel as I learn this new framework. Currently I installed laravel into my Linux Minut VM (not vagrant) which I’ve used for web dev work and PHP work. It’s working great, even PHPStorm runs in this VM fine.
Thanks, I’ll take another look at this when I get a chance later this week. I’m sure there’s something in my configuration for vagrant or virtualbox.
No I have not tried looking at my network interface configuration here in Windows 10 but I’ll give it a try later today, thanks for pointing out the link!
