Two Guest Network and Internet connection on Host

[sbrandollo]

Hi All,

I need the guest network between two guests and host, but i want share the host's internet connection with guest network.

I've created the network between guests and host using vboxnet0 interface, in fact if launch ifconfig by host:

Code: Select all

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:13:ce:84:65:02  
          inet indirizzo:192.168.1.105  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Maschera:255.255.255.0
          indirizzo inet6: fe80::213:ceff:fe84:6502/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          collisioni:0 txqueuelen:0 
          Byte RX:14352 (14.3 KB)  Byte TX:14352 (14.3 KB)

vboxnet0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:76:62:6e:65:74  
          inet indirizzo:192.168.56.1  Bcast:192.168.56.255  Maschera:255.255.255.0
          indirizzo inet6: fe80::276:62ff:fe6e:6574/64 Scope:Link
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

          TX packets:20 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisioni:0 txqueuelen:1000 
          Byte RX:0 (0.0 B)  Byte TX:3525 (3.5 KB)

After launching the VirtualMachines (Two guests) they see the host (with ping) and the host see the two guests.
In the host I have an internet connection on device eth1 and want share this connection with two guests, but i want keep the network between guest also.

In the guests are installed Linux Debian (5.01)

Have you any idea for good work?

Thanks a lot

Christian

You need to read the Networking section in the UG. This has changed for 2.2 and a new mode Host Only has been added. This is what you are using. Either switch to bridged network so that your guests scan use a single access path (and virtual NIC) for talking to each other, the host and the internet -- or add a second vNIC to each guest and connect that to a bridged or NAT IF.
