VirtualBox Bridged Connection

Post by RJ Rizzle »

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to the virtualization world. I recently bought a cheap HP Laptop and installed Virtual Box. I also installed another USB 3.0 Ethernet USB for a secondary NIC.

The problem I am having is that the HOST machine and the (2) VM Instances (CENTOS 7 / WIN 2012) are in BRIDGED MODE. The HOST Nic and Instance both have IP Addresses from DHCP. I'm trying to get it so the VM only has Access to the NIC. The host machine will use its WIFI connection.

Hope this makes sense.

Go to the properties of your USB network adapter in your host, Properties and disable all Bindings, except the VirtualBox Bridged Adapter.
