disabling Internet-access of the guest OS but printing and accessing an NAS

[Joe890]

Hello forum

I would like to disable Internet-access of a Windows7 VM/guest, but printing and accessing an NAS should remain possible.


Is this possible? How?


Thank's a lot for any help!

I'd suggest easiest way would be using the Network Settings in Windows 7 Control Panel to remove internet access while retaining access to network printers etc..

Virtualbox has no method to block internet to a guest while leaving the guest full access to the host's LAN.

I block internet to Virtualbox guests or real computers by using the LAN network router's Access Restrictions or Parental Controls. If the router cannot block internet by computer name or MAC address, then set a static IP address in the guest and block that IP address in the router.

This method allows the guest's network settings to be completely normal settings and access to the LAN, but have no internet.
