Can't access internet after installing vagrant?

I was following this new edx course on Big data on Apache spark. For setting up environment I was told to install virtual-box and vagrant. After installing box and vagrant I restarted my laptop. My modem was working fine, Windows was showing Ethernet connection active but when I try to open any browser and search it was reported that can't connect to internet. I tried uninstalling both box and vagrant but no use. I even restored my system to state when these both applications were not installed but still I can't access internet. What should I do? I'm using Windows 8.1

Just googled a bit and found this:

Seems to be a working solution.

In any case this is how I got it working again. First go to:

Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings

Right click on the connection you are having a problem with. In my case it was “Wireless Network Connection”. On this menu select “Properties”.

enter image description here

Notice there is a line here that says “Virtual Box Bridged Networking Driver”. This is Vagrant watching the connection, is my guess.

When I unchecked the box in front of “Virtual Box Bridged Networking Driver” my internet connection started working again.

Now at this point I started using Google to find out what was going on. I never found a solution or reason. After searching I rechecked the box. And everything started working again.

I would also advice to disable/enable all network cards, from the "network connections" panel. (right click on the networks, open the "Network center" and then go to to "update parameters" (I don't have the exact english labels, my Windows isn't in English). It may fix the issue.
