Hi at all,

What I wanted to do is a Virtual Machine, that is able to use the WLan on my computer and access therefore the internet. But - as another aspect - i didn't want to be able to access to the internet from my host (Vista 64), due to security reasons.
So is it possible, to make kind of a bridge over my host system?

greetings
aus'm Remstal ^^

With wifi, you can't. Bridging is not fully supported (most drivers don't support promiscuous mode). If you search the forum with what you want (e.g. "guest internet host not") you will find more information on how to set it up with a wired interface. If you want it with Wifi, you have to use a USB wifi device and attach it to the VM.
