I would like to be able to have the VM connect to the internet when I am not
connected the wired Ethernet. When my laptop OS was XP Pro I had no problems
with the VMs connecting to the internet when my laptop was connected to my
network with the wireless adapter. Since I reinstalled Vista the only time
the VMs will connect to the Internet is when the wired Ethernet adapter is
connected to a switch. I have disable the firewall and the Antivirus and
nothing to date has helped….
