Internet connection & LAN access at the same time!

At present I can either setup NAT (for internet access) or Bridged adaptor (for LAN access) in my vm's but not both together at the same time!
I have tried various combinations of adaptors such as:
- NAT + BRIDGED
- NAT + HOST ADAPTOR ONLY
Is it too much to ask to have both internet connection & access to shared folders on host pc at the same time?!

Normally if you use Bridged you have both the Internet and the LAN. Are you saying that this is not working for you?
If you use NAT to access the Internet then you need host-only to access the LAN.

No! - that's the problem!
- Bridged ==> LAN but not Internet!
- NAT ==> Internet but not LAN!
- NAT + host only adaptor ==> Internet but not LAN (or the other way round) but not both!
- NAT + Bridged ==> Internet but not LAN (or the other way round) but not both!

Do you by chance have a guest that is supported?

Can you clarify - In what way do you mean a guest that is supported?

Windows -10 developer preview is not supported yet and probably will not work as expected for some time to come. Do you have any other guests that you can/have tried?

It isn't clear to me what the nature of the "failure" is in this discussion. I very much doubt that VirtualBox prevents you from configuring separate NAT and bridged adapters in a VM. So I guess you must be saying you're having difficulty getting the guest OS to work with both adapters? And what constitutes "working" even in that sense?

Can you provide the following:
In a host command window and in the guests command windows, run the following and post here.
As well as the following from the hosts command window:
Code: Select all
VBoxManage list bridgedifs
VBoxManage list natnets
VBoxManage list hostonlyifs
