Wifi on Host/Ethernet on Guest

Post by frametoday »

Hi,

Is there any way I can force my Host to use WiFi, and my Guests to use Ethernet?

You didn't tell us exactly what your host's Win version is (Win10 is not a version), but generally speaking you go to the network options and you disable the Ethernet's "bindings", except the VirtualBox Bridged Adapter. Then for you guest you don't use the "NAT" mode, you use the "Bridged" mode in the network settings, and you bridged it to the Ethernet adapter.
Do NOT send me Personal Messages (PMs) for troubleshooting, they are simply deleted.

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.
