Using (2) Different networks

I am having trouble figuring out this problem.

I have a Windows 10 virtual machine on a Macbook Pro, I use a Transcend JetDrive to store my virtual machine.

I get my internet via wifi on on my Macbook Pro and that is used as the first Network adapter.

I also have a USB to ethernet adapter to connect to an internal AMX control network (controller, touchpanel, and this laptop as well as a small network switch).

I tried to make that network as network 2 and that didn't seem to work, I then added the USB ethernet adapter under USB under Ports.

That seemed to work if I unplugged the USB and plugged it back in once I was logged into my Windows virtual machine.

I set my (2) devices to static as well as on my new network connection that appeared in Windows.

I tried to connect to the touchpanel to download some items and it would time out before it finished. I used CMD prompt to test the connection and it seems to drop.

Is there anyway to make this network connection more stable?

I should mention that I do not believe that is is the small network switch as the touchpanel has a unbroken connection to the controller.

If your VirtualBox is > 5.1.16, please open up Terminal and, while that USB adapter is plugged in, issue the command:
  • VBoxBugReport "<Your_VM_Name>"
A file named "YYYY-MM-DD-HH-mm-ss-bugreport.tgz" will be written to the directory that you were in, most probably your home directory (find out with the command 'pwd'). Attach that file you a new post (see the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form). That way we'll get notified, don't just simply edit your old posts.

We'll take it from there...
