Remote Install - Loses network connection

[ArkansasBen]

I have a client workstation that I've logged into via LogMeIn. It is running Windows 8 Professional and I installed VirtualBox 4.2.14. I created a Windows 7 Professional 64-bit VM and had the VM join the domain. Upon restarting the VM to login to the domain, I get "There are currently no logon services available to process the logon request." Which is trange because it saw the Domain and allowed me to change from workgroup to domain but upon restarting the VM, it gives me this error.

THEN, I restart the host OS on the workstation (Again, Windows 8 Professional) and it absolutely loses the network connection. In other words, it doesn't establish a connection to the network.

Some background on the computer: It's an ASUS CM6830-07 desktop. It uses the WiFi (a Ralink adapter) connection to connect to the local network and is a member of the Windows domain. The workstation runs Windows 8 Professional and there is some software that can only run on Windows 7 so I thought I would setup a VM to do this. Is it possible to have the Windows 7 VM become a member of the domain and work as an actual separate workstation in the network? Is there some bridging that needs to be done or different settings?

Upon restarting, the WiFi adapter had conflicts in Device Manager so I had to walk someone through uninstalling VB, deleting the adapter from Device Manager and restarting and allowing it to find new hardware, install it and then they were good.

I've used VirtualBox on my workstation (totally unrelated to the above scenario) without any problems in the past. And I've rebooted hundreds of times.

Is there something I'm obviously missing here? Is it even possible to do this remotely? I'll have someone on site Monday to walk through whatever changes I need to make.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Using a wifi connection is my biggest concern in your case. I guess you bridge on it for your VM?
If you look a bit on the forum, you'll see that about 50% of the people will have issues with this.

Also, if you could post some info here, that also would be great.
