vBox Network Config on Windows platform

Post by Wiley »

Good day all,

I am not sure if this is the correct area to post this, so forgive me if it isn't. I am in need of a little assistance, as I have little experience in using vBox.

We are trying to set this up on a Windows Server to run two virtual devices. The hosting platform has a different IP address schema then the virtual devices will be using. We cannot place the host within the same IP scope as the virtual devices due to our security standards.

Is there away to configure vBox to work in such a manner that will allow the virtual devices to work even though the host is on a different IP scope?

The host OS does not need to be in the same IP subnet as its guests. However if the guests need to connect to physical devices in their subnet there must be a NIC in the host machine which can connect to that subnet.
