How do I make my VM use my wireless connection?

Unread postby Odd dude » October 11th, 2008, 7:38 am

Hi,

How do I set up my VM to use my wireless connection? Do I need to install the drivers for the wireless adapter or something? Right now it's just... not connecting at all.

Did that - still no internet.
Could any of the following be the issue?

  • My wireless thingy is not Plug&Play - should I install the drivers on the VM?
  • Could my firewall (Comodo) be preventing succesful connection? (FYI, it's not asking me anything)
  • Could it be anything with the IP? (have had problems with that before)
  • The HJT log is not showing the typical O17 lines the host computer is showing - could that be the issue?

Appreciate your help a lot :)

OK, got it to work - but now the really strange part.

I had to set it to use two network adapters, and I had to set both to the same network card.

Why is that?

Anyway, doesn't really matter anymore, the important thing is it works.
