Thank you, but can you elaborate on what i should try exactly? The vm nic is bridged since The virtual switch does not support Wifi directly (or at least that's what i understood...). However it appears that checking the vlan box breaks the connection of the host to the Internet.
I'm guessing the PC in question is a laptop and you're using the one and only NIC on it. Which would be causing some of what you are describing, because it's recognizing both Host/VM at the same time because they are using the same NIC. The only suggestion I have would be to get one of these, a USB NIC adapter, and set that as the NIC of the VM and see if that works. If it does then carry it with you when you travel.

Thanks bassfisher. I guess my question, more precisely expressed, is: how can i ask the virtual switch to function as a router and to assign an IP address via dhcp to the vm? This should theoretically solve the issue. Having 2 nics would indeed work as well, but might occasionally require me to pay twice for access to Internet.

Ah...your right...good point. Let me ask my network guy and see what he says...off the top of my head, I'm not sure.
