Issue with multiple dhcp virtual interfaces.

I received a strange error suddenly while trying to run vagrant up goku. Here is the error message.

A host only network interface you're attempting to configure via DHCP
already has a conflicting host only adapter with DHCP enabled. The
DHCP on this adapter is incompatible with the DHCP settings. Two
host only network interfaces are not allowed to overlap, and each
host only network interface can have only one DHCP server. Please
reconfigure your host only network or remove the virtual machine
using the other host only network.

The solution proposed here worked perfectly to resolve it.

If you are bringing the VMs up 1 at a time which is recommended then you will run in to this error each time you create a new VM. Simply run this command replacing HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet1 with whatever you see when you run VBoxManage list dhcpservers and you're good to go.

VBoxManage dhcpserver remove --network HostInterfaceNetworking-vboxnet1

vagrant up fails with NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG (0x80070057)

Honestly no idea what is causing this. It happens randomly after vagrant up successed several times. Google search isn't very helpful because the code 0x80070057 is used for multiple issues including no free disk space and VMs with duplicate names. Neither appears to be the case here.

There was an error while executing `VBoxManage`, a CLI used by Vagrant
for controlling VirtualBox. The command and stderr is shown below.

The only thing that appears to resolve the issue is to rm -rf ~/.vagrant.d/ Unfortunately this will require you to re-download the VMs from app.vagrantup.com
