Treehouse VM not connecting

When I try running the Treehouse VM for AR Basics, I keep getting this startup sequence with the error message until it eventually fails:

Ī» vagrant reload

==> default: Clearing any previously set network interfaces...
==> default: Preparing network interfaces based on configuration...

I haven't changed anything since successfully using this VM a few days ago, so I think the issue may be on the server side. Has anyone else had this problem, or know how to solve it?

There is no server side. What's happening is the Treehouse VM isn't starting up. Try running vagrant up

"Vagrant reload" is the same command as "vagrant up" with the additional step of assuring it's shut down properly. That was the first command, before I tried the reload.
