Yes, I do something similar. In the primary OS (win8pro) on the secondary NIC I disable everything except "virtualbox bridged networking driver" (no TCP/IP, etc) so there is no conflict with the primary NIC. You would do the equivalent of VMwares bridged driver. Then the virtual machine is isolated from the primary and can be on another subnet, etc.

My PC motherboard has the usual 2 NICs. I want to install VMware version 9 workstation and have it use the second NIC. I have a three router network that isolates a WIFI connection from my LAN for employees, friends, family to use. I am thinking I can plug the second NIC into the router that outputs to my LAN and the other wifi routers and then point the VM to that NIC... is something like this possible. do I need to use the second NIC... how do I go about this? Thanks
