hello all

first, thank you for reading my post.

i have networking question that i need to have answered.

i am currently running a win7 machine with the latest version of virtualbox installed and hosting winxp. i have 2 different network cards installed on my computer. one wired and the other wireless.

i would like to have the wireless card associated with the winxp virtual box and the wired connection on win7.

2 different cards for 2 different environments for testing purposes.

**** i have googled and searched for answers but have come up dry. Please guide me in the right direction with out ridiculing me or sarcasm. this is for a school project and i am new at all this. thanks in advance.****

Can't you select the wifi adapter for the Guest in Bridge mode ?

Really chuck, you haven't found anything? This question has been asked countless times. If it's USB, use USB passthrough. If it's not USB, then let the Host connect to the wireless network, disable TCP/IP there so it won't actually be accessible and use Bridged on the adapter for the Guest.
