Bluetooth Access in Guest OS

Post by arin »

Hi,

I am using Win7 as host and Virtualbox4.3 with Linux-debian as guest OS in my dell laptop.If i tried to use Bluetooth of Win in guest os, it shows there is no adapter.
I tried to enable the serial port used by host for bluetooth. But it shows error in booting virtual os.
Can anybody help me to access my bluetooth adapter in guest os(linux).
:?:

Thanks.

The only way to access Bluetooth from a guest is by attaching a Bluetooth adapter using USB.
On systems the internal adapter is USB connected. There you could use it, but the host would then have no access to it anymore.
