My host OS has two network adapters.

I foound that the guest os is bound to one of the two adapters.


How can I do to make the guest os bound to another adapters?


attach:


my host os : NIC A; NIC B;

my guest os: virtual NIC C;

Now,the NIC C is bridged to the NIC A.

Is there any way to make the NIC C be bridged to the NIC B?

Actually virtual machines do not "bind" to network adapters in the host. What actually happens is that a virtual network is created which is bridged to the physical network adapter. The NIC in the virtual machine connects to this virtual network.

If you look at the properties of the NICs in the host from the Win 7 host OS you should see a line "VirtualBox Bridged Networking Driver". If this line exists an there is a checkmark in the box, this NIC is bridged to a virtual network. If you clear the checkbox, this NIC is not bridged to a virtual network an cannot be used by a virtual machine.

thank you very much!

Then...

I have two physical network adapter...

Can I choose another physical network adapter to be bridged by the virtual network?

my host os : NIC A; NIC B;

my guest os: virtual NIC C;

Now,the NIC C is bridged to the NIC A.

Is there any way to make the NIC C be bridged to the NIC B?

If you have 2 real NIC adapters in the host they will show in the network settings area of the guest. Select the NIC you want to attach to.
