2x Win10 PC and Ping togehter

Post by Bions »

Hello,
I need to create two normal Win10 PCs which can ping each other in the virtual box.
I would have to exchange files with each other.
Is that possible ? if so how?
I have now two Win10 PCs. but both have the same IP address.
As soon as I change the IP address on one PC, this PC won't be able to access the internet anymore. :?:

Virtualbox Bridged, NAT network, Internal, Host-Only will get the guests together to pass files between and ping each other. Bridged will put the guests on the LAN so internet is available. Plain NAT (not NAT network) will give internet but will not allow the guests to pas files and ping each other. See Virtualbox Networks: In Pictures.

Check to see that the network cards in the guest's Network settings, Advanced, don't have the same MAC address.

If the above does not help, please provide 'ipconfig /all' from each guest and the host.

Also, Please right-click each guest in the main Virtualbox window's guest list, choose "Show in Explorer/Finder/File Manager". In the window that opens, zip the guest's .vbox file, and post the zip file, using the forum's Upload Attachment tab.
