![]() ![]() This way you can connect to the guest VM with the host-only adapter, and the guest will have internet access through the NAT adapter. The answer? Use two adapters-one NAT adapter, and one Host-only adapter. ![]() The VirtualBox Bridge adapter works really well, connecting your virtual machine directly to the network, but doesn’t work for laptop users since each network has different settings.The VirtualBox Host-only adapter allows you to easily access the guest from the host (and vice versa), but doesn’t give the guest access to the internet.The problem is that NAT users can’t access the guest from the host machine, which is rather annoying when you are testing out network software. The VirtualBox NAT adapter is great, especially for laptop users-the guest VM always has access to the internet regardless of where your laptop is connected to.This won’t actually help out performance, but if you want to access your guest VM from the host PC, and also give the guest VM internet access via NAT (network address translation), you’ve got to use more than one adapter to accomplish this.
