Its actually perfectly normal to see it waiting for winrm for hours. Depending on your hardware, 8 might be normalm because its running windows updates and some other long running updates. Unless your `packer build` is not running headless, you should be able to watch the updates progress in the virtualbox console.

That all said, if you are using the packer template from my packer-templates repo, I don’t think this will get you any further than you got with my virtual box on atlas since the template will create a mirror image of that box.

Ok, yeah let’s stick to using your packer template repo so i’m finally able to connect to the box!  
I can’t find -long-script.ps1 though and my network seems to be well configured but it does not connect to the internet.  
I configured the proxy manually on the box but still no internet.  
Do you have any idea please? Thanks matt!
