Hi

Who can help me to connect my virtual Win Vista with the Internet ?

I still searched HELP als well as the FORUM, but I found nothing, that would help ...


Host system is WIN VISTA
Guest system is WIN VISTA, too

Host is connected via DSL Lan to the www. This is working quite well on the host system. Simply open IE or Firefox and I'm connected with the www.


If you ask why I want to have a host VISTA on a guest VISTA system ?
It's easy: There are some tools available in the www, were I'm not sure, if there is a virus in or not. So I'd like to test these tools on a virtual system, that easily can be restored, if affeced by a virus.





What will I have to do ?
Who can help ?

Network Settings > Add NIC: Intel/Pro1000MT Attachted to: NAT. Boot the VM, voilá, you have internet on the Guest.

@Sasquatch

working - Thank you....

By the way:

@everboby looking for the same solution:

Network Settings > Add NIC: Intel/Pro1000MT Attachted to: NAT. Boot the VM, voilá, you have internet on the Guest.

is not to be found in the network settings of Virtual PC but in the settings of VIRTUAL BOX on the host PC.


It took me 1/2 hour try and error to find this detail....


Anyway: Having found "NAT" it worked....
