Hi,
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 as guest on VBox v.4.0.2 on Windows XP host. When on host is used wired network, then guest is can access network (like internet). But when I switch to wireless on host and reboot guest, guest can't access network (like internet). I know this was one of VBox limitations, but I am wondering does this limitation still exists?
Regards

Umm.. the host settings show the wireless network as "Not Connected"! Only the wired NIC and Host Only show as connected.

Re: VBox guest not working if wireless is used at host
I know picture is displaying Wireless as Not connected, because I have taken print-screen when I was connected to internet using LAN. But when I disconnect LAN cable and connect to internet via Wireless and start VBox, I can't connect to internet from guest.
