Virtualbox Question

[Winlogon]

I installed Virtual box to compare it to Microsoft Virtual PC 2007. After the installation completed, in my Network and Sharing, it said I have no internet access. What I don't understand is why I can still connect to my home Wi-Fi and visit websites. Is there any way to remove the No Internet Access message?

Also ensure you have the latest maintenance release of VirtualBox which is version 4.2.12

We want our users and developers to stay in touch and work together to make VirtualBox the virtualization solution of choice. To support these goals, we have the following tools in place:

• Forums. The VirtualBox forums are where the community can come together to help each other and to discuss VirtualBox. The forums should be your first port of call if you have problems using VirtualBox (or if you wish to help others solve problems!), since this frees up the developers' time for making VirtualBox even better. However, bear in mind that the developers can not read everything written in the forums, so if an issue does appear to be a problem in VirtualBox, please do not hesitate to report it on the mailing lists or the bugtracker.
  

• Mailing lists. You can subscribe to the user and developer mailing lists to discuss issues by e-mail.
  

• Security inquiries. If you want to discuss security related issues in VirtualBox, please contact the development team directly by E-mail. All off-topic emails will be ignored.
  

• Public bugtracker. Use this to report problems in VirtualBox and make suggestions for improvements; all you need is a user account with this site. If you are unsure whether your issue is a problem in VirtualBox, we suggest that you discuss it in the forums or on the mailing lists first.

I use VirtualBox myself and I think the reason is because it's a virtual network adapter that relies on your physical network adapter so it shows as not being able to connect. Even though it shows this it should work perfectly fine when using a vm. It's just the way they setup the driver to work with your adapter.

It works just fine. You need to read and figure out how to set it is all. If you continue to have issue you may want to post on a dedicated forum for Virtualbox as I'm sure they'll be able to assist you.
