unsw_robotics issues

To enable your VM to connect to the unsw_robotics network you need to configure the network options of the VM.

1. Open VM setting
2. Selection "Network Adaptor" options
3. Select "Bridged Network" with "Wi-Fi" option
4. Open "Advanced Options"
5. Change the "MAC Address" to be the same MAC as your wireless card

Then in your VM:

1. Enable the DCHP wired network connection

These configuration settings will only work on the unsw_robotics network. If you leave your VM open on any other network, you will no longer be able to get an internet connection.
