Network Adapter Issue

[OutsiderZA]

Hi,

I'm new to Virtual Box and I've never used it before. We're using a laptop that connects to our wireless and it gets an IP address via DHCP. As soon as the Virtual Box Network adapter is enabled under Network & Sharing Centre, I can't connect to the internet. When I disable the adapter I can connect to the internet again. How can I fix this so the wireless adapter is "seen" as the primary adapter so we can connect to the internet while the Virtualbox network adapter is enabled?

I assume you're trying to bridge to the host NIC. Is there a good reason you can't use NAT? Bridging to a Wireless connection is a bit of black magic and doesn't always work. Likewise bridging to any NIC only works of your DHCP server allows it (some business servers will not).
