help me please

I created a window 7 VM on VirtualBox with two interfaces: a NAT one (for accessing internet) and a host-only one. However, I do not know how to make both interfaces work at the same time. If I the define the host-only as the adapter 1, I can access my VM from the host but not the internet; if I define the NAT one as adapter 1, I can access the internet but cannot reach my guest window 7.

So, how could I make both interfaces work together?

thanks in advance

Enable a second adapter.

VirtualBox provides the hardware. It does not dictate to the guest OS which NIC it should use for particular tasks when more than one is available. I have struggled with the same problem on physical PCs, e.g. how to get Windows to use a faster mobile hotspot WiFi connection rather than the slow ADSL via Ethernet connection. I can't offer suggestions because it depends on what functions you are trying to move onto particular NICs.
