Unable to connect Host and Guest VM

[efends]

Hi Gurus,

I'm newbie to Virtual Box and need some guidance.
I had following IPv4 for Virtual Box Host only Network on my Host machine running on windows 7
192.168.56.1

I'm trying to connect my host and guest VM by setting the network to Bridged Adapter and got following IPv6

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:3A:FB:1D
inet6 addr: fe80::a00fe3a:fb1d/64 Scope:Link

then trying to ping 192.168.56.1 from my guest VM but got message Network is unreachable.
The guest VM is running OEL 6.4

Appreciate any helps to resolve this issue.

Hi Gurus,

I'm able to connect to guest VM from Host now.
But unable to do so from guest VM to Host, the network interface only shown ip address for NAT adapter (10.0.2.15) but no ip address shown for Host only Adapter

Regards,
Fendy

From the hosts terminal/command window type VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use " " if the name has a space in it.

Note if the host is Windows you need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for the command to work.

Moving to Linux guest.
