It does seem that most folks running linux VMs on windows tend to use Virtual Box as their hypervisor. If you are experiencing similar symptoms under other distros or earlier Ubuntu versions, the solution reported here is certainly worth a shot and please comment if you can. I have found some reports that seem to indicate that this is due to some fundamental network configuration changes made to Ubuntu in v12. Personally I ran into this on Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04.

Is only Ubuntu affected or are other linux distributions affected as well? This issue does not occur if you are on a wired connection or if your guest is using a statically assigned IP. Anyhow, I thought I’d blog about the solution for the other five people who run into this.

This is probably because the scenario is not very popular. scottgus1 Site Moderator Posts: 16845 Joined: 30.I had difficulty finding good information about this on the net. We'll need this info, in a zipped text file or in tags, not as pictures, to help you further. You tried USB basics and troubleshooting, good. So disconnect the Bridged, stick with the USB filter. Virtualbox takes the traffic from the host NIC and passes it to the virtual guest NIC, so your guest traffic will appear to be coming from a wired-ethernet adapter and no Wi-fi capabilities will appear. You won't see your host's wi-fi adapter in your guest OS by Bridging to it. USB will be either in the guest or on the host, not both.Īll network adapters in Virtualbox guests are virtual "wired-Ethernet" adapters. If they are the same USB device, and you want the device to appear in the guest as a wi-fi adapter, then you will have to forget about Bridging to the USB device. Just want to clarify: Are these both the same USB device? It appears from your pictures that you are Bridging to a "tp-link" wi-fi adapter and and USB-filtering to a "Realtek" NIC.
