How communicate from Windows 7 to PLC using a fixed IP in Windows 7?
I have a specific program to communicate from windows 7 to PLC.
In a windows machine, it is enough to put a fixed IP in windows 7.
Then the windows are in the same network address.
For example:
Windows: 192.168.121.x
PLC:
192.168.121.y
I have already tried to use vboxnet0, but I only got to communicate between ubuntu and windows using ping.

Re: Fixed IP to communicate with PLC
You do that the same way you would any other PC - disable automatic IP assignment in the guest OS and give it a manually assigned IP address. This is not a VirtualBox matter so don't look for a VirtualBox setting.
You should also configure the VM for bridged networking mode so it can use a physical network directly.
Management of physical networks is not a VirtualBox matter so there's no need for you to look for a VirtualBox setting.
