Re: #VirtualBox On Linux communication error
Kali is usually used to try to pen-test other networks, and this is often done on Wi-Fi.Done461 wrote:I started to install kali ... am using wireless
However, Virtualbox only provides wired Ethernet adapters to its VMs. To get Wi-Fi in the Kali VM you have to get a USB Wi-Fi adapter, then use Virtualbox USB Filters to pass the Wi-Fi adapter into the VM using USB basics and troubleshooting.
Additionally, if the "vboxmanage list hostonlyifs" is an indicator that your VM is set to use Host-Only, that will not get access to the internet. (So you wouldn't have a "disconnection" of internet, since that implies you had a connection previously; Host-Only will never give you an internet connection.) See Virtualbox Networks: In Pictures
To get Wi-Fi into Kali, get the USB adapter and follow the USB Basics tutorial.

Hi
Thank you for your reply
Although my laptop already has built in wireless drivers
And connection is set to NAT not host only
Do i need to setup a wifi dongle as you explained
