  • I can also use VMware ESXi ? I understand that it's Type 1 hypervisor so this should bring a big improvement in performance to my 8 virtual machines ?

  • I am not familiar with bare-metal Type 1 hypervisors, so I can't say whether it can link each network interface directly to each virtual machine. However, I am aware that VirtualBox is capable of doing so by means of bridged networking. In addition, I do not believe that a Type 1 hypervisor will lead to a very large increase in performance compared to a Type 2 hypervisor given hardware-assisted virtualization, but it may be somewhat faster overall.

  • I installed VirtualBox and i have 1 virtual machine. When i go to Settings-Network-Adapter 1 and choose Attached to : Bridged adapter the only option in the list is my Asus Nx1101 Gigabit Internet Adapter. If i want this machine to be conected to internet using my Huawei3G Mobile internet (conected by Usb) what should i do ? Thank's

  • I'm not sure if VirtualBox sees the mobile broadband modem. Is the modem correctly connected to the computer and can the host operating system use it?

  • @Ilario, you may need to install the VirtualBox Extension Pack, which includes USB capability for virtual machines, in order to use the modem. Unfortunately, as I am not familiar with bridged networking (I have only briefly read about it) or configuring USB in VirtualBox, you will need to consult with the user manual.
