Trying to get 2 Linux clients to talk to each other within VirtualBox
Posted: 3. Aug 2019, 04:56
Hi all,
Host machine is running Win 10 (so aware this might be in wrong section) with Virtual-box latest version.
The 2 Linux clients are Kali Linux and Metaspoiltable2 both running in the same Virtual-box.
The host machine is a laptop with a Ethernet and a WiFi adapter
For the life of me I cant get the 2 clients to talk to each other, I admit I'm a Linux noob having forgotten what little I knew years ago and hence why I'm trying to set up Kali and Meta to allow me to practice in a safe "sandpit"
I have tried setting static IP addresses on both clients and it made no difference,
I tried setting both client to "Internal network" under network settings - Kali found no network device and Meta set it's IP to 192.168. - obviously couldn't ping each other
I tried setting both client to "Nat" under network settings - both clients went to 10.0.2.15 at the same time - obviously couldn't ping each other as they where just pinging themselves. The Kali client can get out to internet while set to "Nat" but I can't ping it from the Win 10 host or Meta Client
All help greatly appreciated
