Dear Virtualbox community,
I have another question related to VirtualBox running on Windows Host. Do you know any way to audit a network to detect Hosts and their virtual machines running on bridge mode? I would like to prepare an HTML report to identity something like Host A has running VM1 and VM2 (virtual machine names). Another aspect to include in the report is to check inside the VM if e.g. the hostname it is running on (HOSTA) is the base hostname for this VM (HOSTAVM1), for keeping a criteria in the naming convention for systems running virtualbox.
Really appreciate your tips, I did not find any topic like this easily.

Re: Network report for Virtuabox hosts and their virtual machines running
If a VM is using bridged networking then it participates on the physical network like any other PC, and can be found in exactly the same way: you need a network IP scanner.
A nice one I recently discovered is called Angry IP Scanner. I don't know why it's angry, but it sure works well: it can list vendor names as well as IPs, so no more wondering why an unknown device is on your network (ah: that's my set top box, or IP camera, or robot vacuum).
