Just to make sure...I can't use wireless internet right?

Post by Alvination »

I've been searching around and everything and have looked in past threads, but I'm a noob when it comes to these things. I'm not handy around the computer, so I don't know much about NAT or whatever HIN is...but am I correct in assuming that I can't connect wirelessly on my guest? I am trying to run Vista on my Mac OSX. Thanks

NVM I am an idiot. I installed Guest Additions and now my internet is fine.

Have you tried to connect to the internet on the Vista guest while connected to the Internet wirelessly on the OS X host and it hasn't worked?

I've just setup a XP SP3 guest on my OS X host while using a wireless LAN connection on my MacBook and the XP guest is setup to use the virtualbox NAT network adapter. The XP guest connected to the internet immediately and views its network connection as "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection".

I can't get Windows XP to connect to the Internet. I have four network adapters in settings for my VM. How do I tell Virtual Box which Mac NIC to bind to which VB NIC?
