Re: Bridged Adapter vs. Host-only

I was thinking about something like this: Edit the xml configuration file for our virtual machine. On Windows, it’s inside the .VirtualBox/Machines subdirectory in your home folder. At the top of the file you should see an <ExtraData> tag. Inside that tag, copy in the following tags: <ExtraDataItem ...

Re: Bridged Adapter vs. Host-only

How would NAT "only" with port forwarding fit into the picture?

Re: Bridged Adapter vs. Host-only

So that means that I can use either one of these options? (not having a router)

1) Bridged Adapter only (but it is more complicated to set it up)
2) Host-only Adapter + NAT at the same time

Bridged Adapter vs. Host-only

I would like to connect Linux guest on Windows host and there is not too much info about it in the manual. Does anybody know if Bridged Adapter option (a lot of people recommend that, about 80%) is reserved only for people who have a router (physical device at home), and if I dont have one I need to...

Re: VirtualBox, Linux, networking

I thik I was able to piece it all together and I am able to ping in both directions. I read somewhere that I should be able to connect to the guest (Linux) with Putty (username: root, password: <myPasswordForRoot>, or another username that is valid etc). I tired and I was not able to. I also looked ...

Cable modem, no router, no static IP, Win7 host, Linux guest

There are suppose to be three ways to get this to work: 1) Adapter 1 - Host-only Adapter (for connection between guest and host) + Adapter 2 NAT (to enable Internet connection for the guest); I have pictures here and I am not able to get it to work: http://tinyurl.com/7694ww6 2) Bridged Adapter - I ...

Re: VirtualBox, Linux, networking

I added some additional pictures on the bottom (XAMPP running both on Windows and Linux). It looks like Linux is able to connect to the host with an IP in the address bar, but not the other way around. I was not sure if I should change it to what it is on the screen, because IP addresses are differe...

Re: VirtualBox, Linux, networking

I went to File -> Preferences -> Network -> Host-only Network Details and I changed the settings according to the previous post. Every time I try to click OK and get out I get a message: Do you want the following program to make the changes (it is some VB .exe program). No matter if I choose Yes or ...

Re: VirtualBox, Linux, networking

I turned off Windows Firewall and that did not make a difference. I will look at Main Manager in a minute, if thats something else than File -> Preferences... or File -> Virtual Media Manager. As far as CentOS -> Settings -> Network, is the following correct: 1) Attached to: Host-only Adapter Name: ...
