Here is the fine manual Syd: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html :) The network specific part is here: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html#networkingdetails If you want that the CentOS just access the net then the best option would be a NAT setup. If you want to access the CentOS only from the host then the best would be a host only interface. For access from the outerside world a bridged setup is necessary. What I think may be happening to you is that you configured a bridget network to the wlan (eth1? wlan0?), and now that it is now available VirtualBox disabled it on the guest (since it doesn't "exist" on the host). You probably has to re-configure the guest network to point it to the ethernet adapter (eth0 maybe?) Hope this helps. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list vbox-users@virtualbox.org http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
