Thanks for help, it works now if i am connected to the lan at work. In that case i can use the ip assigned to my windows host. However if i disconnect the cable, i can't ping it anymore at that address. This makes sense, but i was wondering if there is another way to see the host from the guest with...

I explain it a bit better: if i run smbclient -L paolopc i can see my folder "mydb" available but the command sudo mount -t smbfs //paolopc/mydb /var/testmount results in mount error: could not resolve address for paolopc: No address associated with hostname No ip address specified and hos...

ooops, I dindnt go into that part at all presuming i didnt need it yet. I presume that the easiest thing to do for the moment is to set up a host-only connection to make the two working. One more question: can I enable both together (nat + host-only) on two network cards, so that i can connect to th...

Thanks for replaying. I have read chapter 6, but my understanding was that I dont need to set up any port forwarding to make it working between host and guest. I understand that host connector would do what i want to do at the moment, i just wanted to start with nat to use it with port forwarding in...
