Vagrant: concourse/lite version 2.2.1 cannot connect to ssh

Question

I am running Virtualbox version 4.3.40r110317 with Vagrant 1.8.4 and am trying to start a concourse vm with vagrant. I am trying to start a concourse/lite version 2.2.1 vagrant box, however any vagrant up will stall out at this point:

==> default: Waiting for machine to boot. This may take a few minutes...
    default: SSH address: 127.0.0.1:2222
    default: SSH username: vagrant
    default: SSH auth method: private key

I am able to create a working concourse/lite version 1.2.0, but the later variations of version 2 that I have attempted to use all stall out at the same point.

For reference heres my Vagrantfile:

# -*- mode: ruby -*-
# vi: set ft=ruby :

Vagrant.configure(2) do |config|

  # https://atlas.hashicorp.com/concourse/boxes/lite
  config.vm.box = "concourse/lite"
  config.vm.box_version = "2.2.1"
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8080, host: 8080

end

Note:

Due to some other dependency issues I cannot update my version of virtualbox. If you happen to know the latest version of concourse that will work with my current version, it would help.

if you can downgrade your vagrant version , 1.7.2 or 1.7.3 would work well with virtualbox 4.3 — Frederic Henri, Oct 05 '16 at 07:54

Make sure you're running VirtualBox 5.1.x. Something changed backwards-incompatibly in VirtualBox that made boxes build with 5.1.x (as we do now for the Concourse boxes) have broken networking when run with 5.0.x.

There's a [workaround here](https://github.com/concourse/concourse-lite/issues/9) that should help. – Alex Suraci Oct 05 '16 at 19:11

So @AlexSuraci found it. The answer was: manually clicking the "cable connected" checkbox on eth0 for the box.

For reference to get to the cable connected checkbox do the following:

open virtualbox
right click the concourse VM
click settings
click network at the top of the popup window
select Adapter 1
at the bottom below MAC address and above port forwarding is the cable connected checkbox

Thanks @zgagnon.
