no way ! I successfully did the bridge but then none of my computer could access internet ! So I took of the bridge my local connection on the host, and it’s working again.
I’m now trying to put both cards on my guest VM (NAT for internet and HOSTONLY for local cnx). Really I found this quite hard…

To configure bridge, just choose Adapter type to bridge instead of NAT or Host Interface. By the way, which vbox version you used?

For IP, you should use IP with same segment with physical IP. Since your physical IP is 192.168.186.1, then your guest OS should use 192.168.186.X
or use DHCP instead of static IP, and your guest OS will get the physical IP automatically.

Mukesh,
1. To communicate your host guest WITHOUT internet – use host only
2. To communicate your host guest and your GUEST required internet, then use bridge
