Wire to wireless

Post by Solecs »

Hi there, I am playing with Chrome OS and when i ran it in my VBox it won't boot up to normal spot all the tutorials say it boots up to this let's get started screen with "select your language" and "select a network" under select a network there is nothing to pick. I have played with the network settings and can't get anything to happen. Anyone have any ideas for what i can try to get it to work?

Chrome OS is not a supported OS in VB. If you see any tutorial that talks about running it in VB, it MUST describe the network settings as well. If it doesn't, request it through it's comment section.
Another user here was able to use it when he selected bridged and used his wifi adapter for it on his Mac. But it might work for him with his wifi because he was actually connected to a wireless network. If you have wired only, then that's what you have to use. Strange though, as NAT should work fine.
