Can I specify which subnet the Host Only is on? I'd like for it to be on 10.1.1.0/24 if possible for a lab I'm working on.
Thanks in advanced.

Re: I chose the subnet of the Host Only Network
It looks like the user manual is your friend here!
Start with Ch 6.7. Host-only networking and then, if you are a command line junkie, then you may also want to read Ch 8.38, “VBoxManage dhcpserver”.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

You have to realize that the HostOnly network, as the name suggests, is visible ONLY to the host and the guest, no one else, right? So, it doesn't really matter what range you chose, as long as it doesn't interfere with an existing network.nhuphuong422 wrote:... if possible for a lab I'm working on.
Besides the advice that Andy gave you, you can do the same actions from the GUI as well. Just choose File » Host Network Manager... » Properties » DHCP server. Set your range to whatever you want, avoiding conflicts with existing networks. For example mine (yes, I've changed the defaults), has the properties:
Adapter » Configure Adapter Manually
- IPv4 Address: 192.168.20.1
- IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
- IPv6 Address: <empty>
- IPv6 Prefix Length: 0
- Server Address: 192.168.20.100
- Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
- Lower Bound Address: 192.168.20.101
- Upper Bound Address: 192.168.20.254
