Win 7, wireless SSL certificate problem.
Posted: 8. Feb 2015, 13:33
Hello,
I have a Win 7-32b running virtual machine, running under an Ubuntu 64b host.
I am having problems when trying to connect the Win 7 guest to the internet via a wireless connection.
I think the problem is related to some "SSL"-certificate issue.
I am not an expert on internet connections and protocols, although I have some experience with linux systems.
I have an internet wireless at home, provided by an "internet key" or "mobile wifi".
Win 7 has access to it under "bridged mode" (but not under "NAT mode", I do not know why).
But then, I need to work at the university library which also offer an internet wireless connection.
At the library, Win 7 (the guest) is not able connect to the internet, although Ubuntu (the host) can.
Why? Can this be solved?
See attached the VBox.log file, and also, here are some general info:
Computer:
Acer Aspire E15
Intel Core i5-4210 CPU @1.70GHz 2.39GHz
Memory available: 8GB DDR3L
Hard Disk: 1000 GB
VBox Version 4.2.28 r97679
Windows 7 32bits
Memory available: 3.5GB
Ubuntu version:
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS
Release: 14.04
Codename: trusty
Kernel version: 3.13.0-44-generic
Some extra information that can be useful: the "SSL"-certificate isue.
At the very beginning, I was also having problems to navigate the internet, even from Ubunut (the host).
Firefox (at the Ubuntu-host), was not allowing me to navigate because the library uses an SSL encription between the router and the users at the library.
It seems such SSL encription has not a "valid certificate" (probably the library does not want to pay for it), and thus, Firefox (at the Ubunt host) did not want to navigate.
Here, I am just describing the situation with my limited knowledge about this issue; perhaps I am saying something that does not make sense.
Anyhow, eventually I managed to let Firefox (at the Ubuntu-host) navigate the internet. I do not remember now how, but I think I just told Firefox or Ubuntu to trust the connection.
I am not sure, but, perhaps, this is related to the problem of Win 7 guest not being able to connect to the internet at the university library.
Notice here, I am saying "not able to connect", and not "not able to navigate", which are different things.
I have read somehwere (I do not remember exactly where, because I have searched the web for a solution like a crazy man) that with "NAT mode" this problem might be solved, but then, I need to make the NAT mode to work as it is not working and I do not know why.
Do you have some solution in mind?
Best regards,
