Guest VM to Guest VM Bridged configuration

[ib-virtual]

Hi,

I'm new to virtual box and having some trouble with a bridged network configuration that I wish to use as a test rig.

I am trying to configure the following:

1, Bridged VMs that are accessible from our LAN. This works correctly.
2, Guest VM to Guest VM access. This is where I am having trouble.

I have configured the following:

Virtual Box (3.2.4) on Mac OS 10.6

EN0: 192.168.9.223
EN1: 192.168.9.224 (Both VMs are configured to use this as their bridge interface)
Router: 192.168.9.1

Windows XP Guest VM

Local area connection: 192.168.9.225
Router: 192.168.9.1

Debian Linux Guest VM

ETH0: 192.168.9.227
Router: 192.168.9.1

I have been able to get the machines up and accessible via our network, they can connect to the internet and I can connect to the services running on them, ssh or vnc for example. However, I am having problems accessing a webserver running on the Debian Linux guest VM, from the Windows XP Guest VM.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

If anyone knows a link to a tutorial for this configuration please let me know. I've read the documentation but I suspect I'm missing something

Many Thanks for any assistance.

Cheers

Are you able to ping the ip addresses assigned to these machines and between these machines?
Other things to check are firewalls, and Web Server settings.

Hi,

Many thanks for your reply.

Yes I could ping between the host. However I noticed the Linux web server had its DNS configured incorrectly, changing this made things spring into life.

Virtual box is great! I've now removed three monitors and a couple of PCs from my desk!!

Cheers
