How do I allow a virtual PC network access without allowing the host OS the same?

you cant. the host acts as a NAT to the virtual, so if you disable internet on the host, it kills the virtual also

I am not 100%.
I would think off the top of my head that this can’t truely be done….

I am not able to test this but try this….

Have your VM have its networks settings as a BRIDGE connection.
Then on your host PC just give your some some BS IP like 192.5.5.5 also a BS DNS server like 127.0.0.1.
Not sure if that will work, but the way a bridge connection works it MAY work.

Or, you can just manually set your host machines DNS to some BS number, i KNOW that will work. You truely won’t be “offline” but it is about as close as you will get.
