Dude, a minor misunderstanding, most probably caused by me.
Default switch, although it's type is Internal, is capable to connect to Internet. For instance, at the moment it is the only switch I have, having deployed a new custom image on my host and not set it up completely yet:
My virtual machines have no issues in connecting to Internet using it:
What I have said is that because Default switch puts VM behind NAT, the networking with host is if not impossible but at least extremely difficult. You can map shares from host using host name (not IP) but host will not be seen on VM's Explorer > Network because it is on different subnet.

cereberus, I read your post as soon as you posted it, having done some extensive Googling and Binging, trying to find a fix. Unfortunately, at the moment, I have found nothing.
If your other VMs can connect using Default switch, you could try if this works. Check IP, DNS and DHCP settings of virtual NIC on a VM where Default switch is working, and use those values to setup the problem VM to use static IP, DHCP and DNS. Screenshot from VM shown in previous screenshot:
