Network stopped after re-install

My windows 7 host is connected to a separate network with its own internet connection (wired) to that of the vista guest (wireless). The guest is bridged to the hosts wireless adapter with only the vbox protocol enabled on the wireless adapter in the host so that it is only available to the guest but I am unable to get internet access. The wireless adapter is connected to the wireless router with limited connectivity which is how it was before. I can get internet access if I enable ipv4 on the wireless adapter in the host but this then conflicts with the host which then has internet issues.

I reinstalled windows and vbox but cannot think what could be different that is causing this. Any ideas please?

Please run the following commands in the guest and attach the output as zip file :

Code: Select all

ipconfig /all
route print
arp -a
ping 8.8.8.8
nslookup 8.8.8.8
nslookup google-public-dns-a.google.com
