Give a VM access to local network of host, but not internet

[nom]

I've got a Windows 8.1 VM that I want to use to access a database that's on my local network (192.168.x.x). I don't, however, want to give the VM access to the internet. Currently, it has no network adapter. To access local networks, it needs to bridge the adapter, right? But how can I bridge the adapter without allowing the VM any outside internet access?

I can't think of any way you could do that with a VirtualBox setting.

The usual way to allow a machine access to its own subnet but not to any other networks is to remove its default gateway address.

I have blocked internet to a bridged guest by using the Access Restrictions or Parent Controls in the network router to block internet access to the guest's IP address (guest needs a static IP for this).

[BillG]

If you are using manual config to give it a static IP you might as well just leave the gateway address blank.

So no gateway for a computer renders the computer unable to get to the internet? I'll have to remember that! Sounds a lot easier than the Access restrictions stuff...

If it doesn't have a gateway address it can't get out of its own subnet.
