I'm a newbie for Virtual Box.I have a question.. i have a windows 8 host pc and Ubuntu virtual machine running on it and planning to add few more VMs. Can i use different network connections for each VM.Like if i have 4 ubuntu VMs on host windows 8 pc and connect 4 different internet dongles to my pc can i use different dongles on different VMs.
Is it possible, if yes please rply how??

Yes you can add several dongles, as long as they are not the same, else Virtualbox will have no way to tell which one is attributed to which VM.

Well ,do you have 4 times the same hardware? or each is different?

If they are the same, nothing you can do I am afraid.

If they are different, create one USB filter per USB device (see user manual)
