That is, this solution is not the same "in spirit" as is VirtualBox. On a hard 802.3 wired connection, VirtualBox does provide Internet access to the outside world from the guest; this seems to be a failure on a 802.11 ISP wifi connection. JHas anyone used VMware-Player-12.0.0-2985596 <tel:0-2985596>.x86_64.bundle on a SL7 host with a MS Win guest? Did you really enabled bridged interface for host on VirtualBox? -- Eero
Yes -- I just tried it again. The only network that seems to be active is vboxnet -- which is detected by Network Manager, but Network Manager cannot activate vboxne -- Network Manager just "spins". MS Win 7 Pro complains that there is no network adapter -- although the Intel MT hardware appears under the MS Win hardware GUI. Does VirtualBox with a MS Win 7 guest have Internet access from the MS Win guest on your system? What configuration are you using? Could it be specific IEEE 802.11 WNICs under SL -- some work, some do not with VirtualBox current? This used to work with an earlier 32 bit SL 6 system and an earlier release of VirtualBox. Note that the MS Win guest is 32 bit although both SL 7 and the VirtualBox system are 64 bit.
