network between host and quest? how to? (virtual server)

Post by wdolek »

hi, i would like to make LAN between guest and host... or make guest system act as on same network as host.
i was reading manual, but i'm not much clever, and also this forum did not help me much :(( i dont get it.

reason why i want to do this is i have installed ubuntu server... and want to connect to this virtul server from windoze as it would be another machine. (also it is practical - really don't want to mess windoze with all servers/settings/software, also i can not run some things on win (so easily as on linux)).

i'm behind firewall most time, which has just few IP address range, but sometimes i'm on public network, where is no limit. does this affect any settings?

thanks for any help, hint, page/thread/blog/tutorial suggestion

If you want flexible networking between the guest and the host then you need to use the Host Interface mode. This is described in the manual.
