[Solved] Network share between host and guest

[chuugokujin]

Hi
I am a network noob I'd like to know how I can make my host and guest talk to each other.

I have a router(gateway) 192.168.1.1 (255.255.255.0)
host computer 192.168.1.11

I was trying to manually set up my guest to static ip 192.168.1.12 and found it cannot ping my gateway, neither can access internet.
By default the ip of guest is 10.0.2.15, it can access internet and my router(192.168.1.1)

could anyone help me with this?

We need more details about what you have tried, specifically about what network settings you have tried.

But just guessing from your post, you have configured the network as NAT. If you want to set a static IP address on the guest, try bridged networking.

I just found the share is working by default :p although I don't know how it works.
thanks anyway
