Can I tell Virtualbox to use one of my ethernet cards?

Question

I have a laptop with the standard wireless and wired cards, I would like the host system to use the wireless connection and the vm machine to use the wired connection.

The point is that at the wired connection I can get a public, routable IP address, and I need that for my vm, while the host can work with the private IP.

Answer 1

You can assign any of your network cards detected by virtualbox to 1 of the 4 network cards you can put in the vm. See this for different modes
