Description (last modified by )
Virtualbox: 4.3.20 Hosts: Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10, 15.04 Guest: Windows 7 Pro; network adapter: Tested all, including Virtio VM Network connection: Bridged
I have a Windows 7 guest (VM) installed in VirtualBox host running Ubuntu 14.04. Other users have experienced this in hosts running Ubuntu 14.10 and 15.04 too.
This is on a laptop so I have two networking adapters.
The VM's internet access works fine if I activate the ethernet adapter on the host, regardless of the VM's NAT or Bridged connection type.
When the host's active Internet connection is Wireless then the VM's internet access only works in NAT mode. In bridged mode, the guest obtains an IP address, but can’t connect to the Internet.
I need to use the Bridged connection type in order to participate in the LAN's native IP network, not a host's NAT network. Thanks for any help in advance.

Recent 4.3 versions had a number of fixes for bridging to wifi. Do you still see the problem with 4.3.26?
If you still do, please provide packet captures both from the host and from the guest.
