In fact, when I try to reconnect, or to "resolve the problem"Windows said that the network adapter driver can't be found.

I have not been able to reinstall this driver.

Nobody had this problem before ?

We're going to need a lot more info I am afraid. First start by reading Minimum information needed for assistance and provide relevant information.
Second, where is the problem located: in host? in guest? What did you do *exaclty* to see that you can''t connect to Internet? What lead you to that conclusion?

Hi

I need windows only occasionally.
So, I didn't come here from a relatively long time.

anyway, my system host is :

Macbook Pro Retina with 2.4GHz i5 / 4GB memory / 128GB SSD run with Yosemite.

The guest is Windows 7 64 bits on which I "only" clic on "disconnect" on the network icon in the bottom bar, since when the network adapter driver didn't work. (red "x" on the icon in the bottom bar, and the device manager says that the network driver adapter - USB conceptronic 54Mbits/s adapter - can't start).
And I usually connect to network through wifi.

I tried to change things into virtual box network configuration (NAT/ bridge / etc. ) without any success, but I really bad on network configuration.

And I have another guest with Windows XP 32 bits on which the network works well (I never clic on disconnect from network on it).

best regards....

If you are passing the USB device into the guest, then you need to install appropriate drivers, just like it was a physical machine.
Else, do not pass it to the VM and simply enable the first NIC in the VM config, disable all the others, and choose NAT.
