VirtualBox: How to connect to Internet via wi-fi on Mac?
- by Paul Riedel
I installed VirtualBox with a Win XP VM on my Mac running OS 10.7.5.
My Mac only has a wi-fi connection to the internet. On the settings for the virtual host, I set:
Attached to: Bridged Adapter
Name: en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort)
Adapter Type: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Promiscuous Mode: Deny
Mac Address:
Cable Connected: true
Those are the settings I see around the internet as being correct, but I still can't ping anything.
On my Mac I have internet sharing via Ethernet enabled (not sure if that matters).
When I start up my WinXP VM, it asks me to install a bunch of hardware which I don't have any drivers to. Do I need to install any ethernet card drivers in order for the internet to work?
Thank you!!
