I have 2 VirtualBox virtual machines: Ubuntu (Jaunty/9.04) and Sugar. Running on a Mac host, but that shouldn't make a difference... unless it does.

I have 2 network adapters enabled in each VM, connected to the wired Ethernet and the wireless adapter, both using the "Attached to: Bridged Network" option (one says "en0: Built-in Ethernet", the other "en1: AirPort"). On the VM side, the guest OS just sees two generic network adapters, and has no need to know what they're connected to. They're simply either up or down. I have never had to fiddle with the settings inside the VM.

What are your VM network settings?

@mae: thanks for the "typo" correction - in fact it was just wordiness on my part, but I have changed it to be more readable.

I eventually realized the major issue was the need to validate the virtual's network interface to the web-based authentication system!
