FWIW, I run Windows 10 in a VirtualBox virtual machine on Linux, with my ThinkPad. I run the VM in bridge mode, not NAT. It gets it's own DHCP IPv4 address, along with SLAAC addresses on IPv6. I even have an assigned IPv4 address for it's MAC in my DHCP server. It all works well. This is with my TP-Link TL-WA901ND access point. It also works with my D-Link DAP-1350 and Asus WL-330gE portable access points.
So, via WiFi, no matter which access point I use, Linux gets an address of 172.16.1.40 and the W10 VM gets 172.16.1.41, as configured in the DHCP server. I get full connectivity on both IPv4 and IPv6 through the single WiFi connection.
That's interesting. Does virtualbox use the same MAC as the host system, or it's own MAC? That would make a difference I would think. Which wifi adapter is in that machine? Certainly doing it in linux with brctl and kvm does not work. -- Len Sorensen
