access both wireless and wired networks?

I have a friend whose company restricts so many websites that he can't find the answers to the programming problems he needs to do his job. (I.e. He says that all blogs are somehow blocked) But his company also has a wireless network that is unrestricted (don't ask me the logic of this) I was thinking he could install a virtual machine that is connected to the wireless network but have his host OS connected to the wired network (he needs some resources that are only on the wired network) Would that work? Is there maybe a simpler solution, I.e. Just tell the browser to use the wireless network somehow?

Most virtual machine managers will allow you to bind a specific interface card to a specific virtual machine (VirtualBox as an example). He should know that having both of these networks attached to the same machine completely voids the advantage of having separate networks. A VM makes it more difficult, but the danger is still high.
