You can retrieve that info using the following method - replace <nicId> by the approprivate NIC index :

Code: Select all

IMachine::getGuestPropertyValue("/VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/<nicId>/V4/IP");

You will need the guest additions running in the VM to retrieve such info.
If you are not sure what is the right index, you can check the MAC address of the NIC in the VM config with the guest reported MAC given with the guest property /VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/<nicId>/MAC
Finally, the full guest NIC count is available using /VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/Count
