choosing network card

Post by garikai »

Hi
I have a machine with 2 network cards. On the previous version of virtual box i used some time back you could choose which card on the host machine you want the virtual machines to connect to. I have read the networking section in the help and i cant see how to put the virtual machines on a separate network with its own network card. I want my internet on one card and the virtual machines on the other card. Please tell me how i may do this

Thanks
