Hi I'm Technologyunit from ubuntuvideotutorials.org thats not important, what is important is my understanding of the limitations of Virtualbox. I use the virtual machines to create the tutorials, and I need to know if I could connect two virtual machines via a private network connection.

My Objective: To Demonstate Linux Terminal Server Project (LTPS) using Virtual Machines.

Hardware: Core i7 (I Cant Remember and Don't Care which it is) 2.6ghz 4 cores 8 threads It will handle multiple running VMs, 6GB ram, 640GB harddrive, ATI Radion HD 4350.

Requirements: ssh Network connection.

I understand that this is a stretch, but I would really appreciate the help. As a word of warning I am new here so please give me a break, forwarding me to other posts is great!

Sincerely
Techunit

technologyunit:
VirtualBox has very scalable networking model.

If on the same host, then it is very easy: just use "Internal Network". (VM->Settings->Network->Attached to:)
If you want private network (VPN tunnel) between guests runnings on different hosts, then you should look at "VDE Network".

See Chapter "6.2. Introduction to networking modes"
