Unable to obtain ethernet connection
Posted: 20. Mar 2012, 17:29
I have a MacBook Air running Lion OS (ver 10.7.3) as host. I have Windows XP SP3 as guest. (FYI: my Virtual Box and Extension Pack are up to date with current versions)
After installing Virtual Box I successfully set up the bridged internet adapter for use with my wireless airport connection. But I have now moved into an office that is not wireless. I have to connect with hardwire ethernet. The MacBook Air does not have an ethernet port so I had to get the USB ethernet adapter. Under the Mac host this works fine. But I can not successfully configure this to work in the Virtual Box Windows XP guest environment.
Any suggestions or advise would be greatly appreciated.
