Diverter failed calling GetBestInterface - error output not informative enough #138

This error message is very technically specific and not very helpful. It would be helpful to those who use FakeNet-NG to confirm one or more reasons why this error message can arise, and indicate that information in the error message along with suggested troubleshooting steps.

Upon starting up, FakeNet-NG may display this error:

02/26/20 11:49:52 AM [          Diverter] Failed calling GetBestInterface

This may mean that a network interface with a valid IP address could not be identified. Ensuring that the guest is at least attached to a host-only network and has valid settings from DHCP may resolve the error.
