We would like to set up two VirtualBox VMs on a Windows 10 box (which is not connected to the ethernet by means of a cable, but has wifi access) with the following configuration:

1. VM1 configured as a Linux server which should support ISCSI (TFTP + DHCP)
2. VM2 configured as a Linux diskless node which does a pxe boot off the data dumped by VM1

We have a similar setup in our lab where the two machines running the server and the diskless node configurations are connected by means of a LAN.

So the question is: what network configuration settings should we use to emulate the same setup using virtualbox?

An example demonstrating the settings would be greatly appreciated. Any pointers to relevant documentation on the web would also be of great help.

If all you need is LAN access between the two VMs, then "NAT Network" (not to be confused with ordinary NAT) or "Internal Network" will both work. The former has DHCP and also allows Internet access. If you don't need that then use the latter.

There is info on PXE booting in the manual.
