Hi,
I have 2 win 2k8 virtual machines installes in VirtuaBox.
I want to have connection between them. I use NAT for the IP but NAT gives them both the same IP: 10.0.2.15. So it seems there is no connection between the two.
how do I fix this ?
Changing one machine to 10.0.2.11 doenst seem to work. They still cant ping eachother.

They won't be able to ping or see each other using NAT without going to a lot of extra work.
If you have a router, use Bridged, if not then use either internal or host only. Add a second adapter to each guest to use NAT for Internet access if you need to use host-only, or internal.

I want to give them an IP that doesnt change and works when I switch my extern HDD to another pc.
I can do that with only internal host cards ? even when I have more than 2 servers (need 6).
Inet is not that important

Internal, Host-Only, even Bridged can be used for that. The only requirement or the latter is a physical connection. So Internal and Host-Only are the best options.
