10.0.2.2 when offline

Post by rawen81 »

Hi,

my question may be lame but i had to ask - i use Virtualbox 3.0.2 on Ubuntu 9.04 and have a Windows XP as a guest system in it. When i want to access web server, which runs on my Ubuntu, it is easy - by setting 10.0.2.2 in browser of XP. But when i want to do it offline (cable is unplugged from an ethernet port) - it doesn't work. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you!

For this to work when you are offline you will need to setup a second adapter for HOST-Only mode.
