[WorksForMe] Windows 10 cannot use macOS Mojave Wi-Fi connection

Post by IvanH »

My iMac is connecting to Internet by both an Ethernet cable and a Wi-Fi. Windows 10 VM has been working fine on Virtualbox 5.2.12 with either or both Ethernet and / or Wi-Fi is available on the iMac. I upgraded macOS to Mojave and thus Virtualbox to 5.2.20. After the upgrades, Windows 10 VM can only find the Internet connection when the Ethernet cable is attached.

I checked that the Windows 10 VM has the following Network settings on the Virtualbox Settings:
- Adapter 1 enabled
Attached to Bridged Adapter;
Name: en0: Ethernet;
Advanced
Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscuous Mode: Allow All
Cable Connected - checked

- Adapter 2, 3 and 4 are not enabled.

What are the settings that I need in order to use the iMac's Wi-Fi on Windows 10 VM?

For some reason, Virtualbox crashed and after it was reopened, everything looks fine. The Adapter 2 has the following settings:

- Adapter 2 enabled
Attached to Bridged Adapter;
Name: en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort);
Advanced
Promiscuous Mode: Allow VMs
Cable Connected is checked.

And Adapter 1, the Promiscuous Mode has changed from Allow All to Allow VMs.

It's fine now.

Well, that was... quick and pleasantly unexpected. ;)

It happens very often that a problem can't be resolved for days or weeks, but once asking for help, the way to solve it or the problem resolved by itself happens just within a day before external help responds.
