LAN on host and WIFI on guest OS QUESTION

Post by MattValkon »

Hello,

I have two internet lines ... one is LAN cable which i am using on my host OS (Windows 7 64bit)
another one is my WIFI lan adapter ... i want to use WIFI on my guest OS (only on guest - guest is windows 7 32 bit).

I am wondering if thats possible?

If it is please elaborate how its done!

Thank you all!

You can choose which network card adapter you bridge/NAT to when setting up the guest. Some wifi adapters are reported to not like Bridged (though I haven't experienced that myself) and the connection will appear in the guest as a regular wired network, not wireless.

If your wifi adapter is a USB device, you can set up a USB filter for the guest to steal it from the host.
