Is it possible to explicitly tell the VirtualBox NAT connection to use the host's WLAN to provide internet to the guest system?
Question background/ my specific problem right now:
My VirtualBox guest system (Ubuntu 20.04) no longer has internet access since the host's LAN connection broke (the host still has internet via WLAN). I can ping 8.8.8.8 from the guest just fine, so there is some connection to the internet, but browsers or software updates don't work.
I've tried changing the NAT connection a bit as suggested for similar problems (is at desktop adapter, cable is connected), but nothing changed. Setting up a bridged network (with or without promiscuous mode) for the WLAN also had no affect. Looking at the adapters from the host (Win10) side, I noticed that my only VirtualBox network adapter is a host-only ethernet adapter (does this mean it only considers ethernet?). Unfortunately I've no real idea how any of this works. In my head I just need to tell the NAT connection to use WLAN for now, but for NAT I can't select the name of the used host network. But it may also be a DNS problem or something I've never heard of...
Any pointers to potential solutions are very much appreciated, especially if they help me understand why my current configuration is faulty.
