Hi all,
Host: Win 7
Guest: Ubuntu 9.04
My desktop has 2 NICs. I'm trying to use the 2nd NIC for the guest OS to be able to reach the internet, but not having much luck. Is this even possible?
I'm using Bridged Networking, selecting my 2nd NIC. VB Network adapter: PCnet II (Am 79C970A)
TIA

Re: Using 2nd NIC for Guest OS?
Is the second NIC connected to by the Guest? is the second NIC on the Host connected to a router for internet access?

Re: Using 2nd NIC for Guest OS?
The 2nd NIC is connected to the same router as NIC 1. It is connected on the guest, and gets a correct IP address, but still can't reach the internet.vbox4me2 wrote:Is the second NIC connected to by the Guest? is the second NIC on the Host connected to a router for internet access?
I figured out what was wrong. The guest OS was picking up the wrong DNS servers for some reason
If I enter the IP addresses manually into the browser it works fine.
