Here's what i did. I created a virtual connection in Windows and set the IP for that connection to a static IP. I then created a bridge and added both my regular and the virtual connection to the bridge. On the guest OS, I set a static IP for the second adapter (which corresponds to the Virtual Adapter in windows).
It doesn't work. Worse, when I bridge the connections, my windows OS loses connection to the network. I know I am doing SOMETHING wrong but I can't seem to figure out what...
