Title: Internet connection settings (wifi laptop)
Post by: Contro on November 23, 2014, 12:35 AM

Internet connection settings (wifi laptop)

I have a virtual machine under windows 7 with VirtualBox on my laptop.

How can I maintain the wifi signal on the virtual machine (running under xp)  and deshabilitate in the host system ?

Best Regards


P.D. Just the same to prevent, in some cases, browsing from the host system in the desktop pc. That is take control over the updates in the system and dedicated browsing from the guest machine.

Use a USB WiFi dongle exclusively for the VM, then just disable the WiFi the host is using.
