Windows 8.1 host network problem

Dear forum members,

i installed VirtualBox on my Windows 8.1 64bit system. The problem is that i cant get any internet connection on my Windows XP guest system.

This are my settings:
Adapter 1
Enable Network Adapter
Attached to: Bridged Network
Name: My WLAN-Stick
Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscuous Mode: Allow VMs

I get also a SSL-Authentication failed Error if i click on "Check for VirtualBox Update"
I used VirtualBox without any Network problems on my Windows 7 Host. Has this problem something to do with Windows 8.1? Hopefully somebody can help me.

Try with the NAT. Bridged with wireless is finicky (to say the least).
