Disabling Internet on the Guest OS

Post by mullahraheil »

Hi,

I am using VirtualBox v4.3.10 r92957 on Mac OS X 10.9.2 to run Windows XP Professional SP3 as a Guest OS, mostly for the Microsoft Office applications. I want to disable the Internet on the Guest OS (Windows OS) without hampering its communication with the Host OS. How do I do that, if possible?

Thanks in advance.
Mullah Raheil.

Switch to host-only in the network settings.
