Hello all
I have a Snow Leopard iMac with Virtualbox installed. On my Virtualbox i am running windows 7. My job has two different networks. I need my Mac on Network 1 and I need to have my windows 7 in Virtualbox on network 2. If i install a USB Ethernet port on the iMac and plug network 2 into it, how can i make it work just for Virtualbox? I then want to make the built in Ethernet port work on network one and be just for the iMac? Can it be done or am i just crazy?
Thank you

But I've seen such requests before so given how this works, I'm going with not going to work out for you as you planned.
Why not connect both networks and then tell Windows to use that LAN?

The problem is the two subnets. One should not be connected to the other.How do i make the mac ignore one of them?

The route table, netmask and more details but I only see the tip of the iceberg of information here. While I did write router code back in the early 1990s it appears you are trying something for reasons I can only guess at. At the office I have something like this but I use 3 laptops to do the work.

I work at a school. I need to be connected to the instructional network sot fix computers, monitor student usage and all around support. I also need to be on the administration network for the same reasons. I currently have two computers to do this. I would like to have one computer and put my other one out for student use. I want my Mac on the instructional and my virtual windows on the administration. One cannot be connected to the other.
Sounds similar to our work.

We have networks of hardware controls so we emulate this on our test rigs. Given how perilous setting up a single laptop would be and that it would be an emulation of the real thing we don't do what you propose.
But if I was to do this I would be looking at route tables, masks and such.
And there's the rub. Most folk can't alter a route table. I know it took me years to learn this. I mean I could issue the command but until I was on that router software dev team I didn't understand it because I didn't have to.
Fast forward to your setup. It may take time for you to pound out what your Apple's route table looks like for this one.
