Bridged connection W7<->W7, how to do ?

[archfiend]

Hi,

I'd like to set a bridged connection between two W7 OS, one in VM and one Host.

I've selected bridged connection.
Then in the "Name" selection list, I select the wireless card.

There is no "Attached to" section as stated in the manual.

The guest is connected to a network called "Reseau 2" (meaning "Network 2") but is indicating "no internet access".

I have a router but in my host I have no need to specify specific gateway or DNS.

NAT is working properly, but I need a bridge connection, how can I make it work please ?

Is your Host connect to wifi? You have to select the Host interface that you use to connect to the rest of the network, else the Guest can't access it. If you just want Host <=> Guest communication, you can use Host-Only too. Make sure you disable the Windows firewall on that interface, else it can interfere with proper communication.

I'd like the VM to access Internet, and yes the wireless card is chosen when connected wireless.

More precisaly I'm connected to a router with a static IP on LAN. It's set with DNS to be forwarded to the router of my ISP (static IP too of course). First router is 192.168.2.1, ISP router is 192.168.1.20 . I don't need any particulliar settings on my computer to access the Internet, bun I can't access first router (it fonctions "like" a switch).

I tried to disable Windows Firewall, but I did'nt gain any access to the Internet.

I hope this informations will help you to help me.

If you have selected the bridged adapter option, you are already past the "Attached to" option. That is the name on the dropdown list where you select the bridged adapter. The next option is "Name" where you select your adapter to bridge to. If you only have one NIC, that is your only option.

After you select your wireless NIC as the NIC to bridge to, the other heading you can select is "advanced" which will give you details of the virtual NIC in the guest machine.

If everything works properly, your guest should automatically get a 192.168.1 x address from DHCP on the router when you boot it, just as the host OS does. Have you checked to see what network config the guest OS is showing? If it is getting an APIPA (169.254.x.y) address, DHCP is failing and you will not get Internet access. It might work if you manually configure a 192.168.1.x address in the guest. Make it exactly the same as the config which the host gets from DHCP (except fo the last group of the IP address).
