[SOLVED] Wireless

Post by makkan »

I have a Vista guest running in a Opensuse 11.4 host. Right now I'm travelling and when I use a wireless connection in the hotel everything works as it should both in the host and the guest.
But when I'm at work I can't get the guest to connect through the wireless. The difference between the two places is that at work I have to open firefox and login before I can access internet.
How can I get the guest to work at my workplace? Wireless is my only option.
I'm using bridged mode.

If all you need is internet browser access then NAT should work better. Otherwise you need to speak to your IT people at work. In bridged mode the VM is just another PC on the same network as the host, and your IT people are the ones who will allow that or not.
