Assign Static IPs to VMs

[Fortunecells]

I have 2 IPs on 1 NIC from the provider. This is my network setting

Now how i can assign 1st IP to A VM, and 2nd IP to B VM?

Use Bridged, set the IPs to static from within each VM and "assign 1st IP to A VM, and 2nd IP to B VM".

I now using bridge, and inside the VM i manually configure the IPv4, but my VM now cant connect to internet, whats wrong with this setting?

I don't know, I can't tell. Most of the information that I need are obfuscated. So, I can't know if the numbers that you put in the configuration make any sense or not. I suggest that you share your configuration, so that we'll know what we're dealing with.

It appears that both addresses have been assigned to the host so they can not be assigned to the guests using Bridged mode. What you actually have is three separate machines ( host, vm1, and vm2 )
and each would require a separate address. Is your goal to have these machines visible to the public?

[Fortunecells]

Yes i want this VMs visible to the public

[Perryg]

Then you are going to need 3 separate addresses and the two that you want the guests to have can not be bound to the host.

At first I said, huh? Then I selected and burst out laughing. Quite effective in displaying your point, Socratis!

Fortune, you can't hide the info we need to help you. You're asking questions about IP addresses then you hide all the IP addresses - not going to help us help you. Folks can't hack into your computer just by knowing your LAN IP addresses. They need the public ones, at least.

That said, you say you have two public IP's on one NIC. OK, use Virtualbox "Bridged" to connect both guests to the one NIC, as recommended by our gurus in green above. Give each guest a static IP address within the guest OS.

Then you're going to need normal networking skills to separate the public IPs to the static IP addresses set in each guest, keeping in mind that if you set both IPs to the guests you will have none set for your host, thus the three-IP recommendation from Perry. Or put one public IP to one guest and leave the other for your whole network, with port forwarding to force internet-sourced traffic to the other guest. Ports or routes or something, something in your network router, etc., not a Virtualbox thing. You would run into the same problem running physical PCs: how to get traffic from two public IPs coming on one Ethernet wire to separate to two physical PCs? However you would accomplish that, you'd do the same thing with your Virtualbox setup. There are no settings in Virtualbox Bridged that will enable this, that I know of.
