Bridged networking not working in Virtualbox under Windows 10

First of all you have to create a VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter

In Virtualbox :

Go to File > Preferences On the Network tab select Host only Networks click on "add a Host-only adapter" give it a name by default it is "VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter"

In Windows :

go to Network connections on Windows and highlight both the real adapter and the new virtual ethernet adapter that you just created.
Right click and select "Bridge Connections", it's going to create a network bridge in Windows.

Now configure your VM :

in the Network part you can activate a new adapter and then select Attached to Host only adapter
Choose the VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet adapter you have just created

You can now configure your static IP Address by modifying /etc/network/interfaces :

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.1.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.1.1.1

You can now restart eth0 by doing :

sudo ifdown eth0
sudo ifup eth0

Some wireless adapters don't work

Go to your net card. Go to properties and then Install -> Service, which? This: VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver

Reopen Virtual Box
