how to acess corporate (office) network , from a VM @ home

[kahmed]

Hi,
Here is the scenario.
I have Virtual Box running on my Macbook Pro, with guest VM as ubuntu
My Mac ifconfig shows:

lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1

vmnet8: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500

inet 10.202.210.62 --> 10.202.210.61 netmask 0xffffffff
open (pid 537)

The ubuntu Guest VM has IP:
eth0: 10.1.0.162
vibr0: 192.168.122.1

Now, i cannot access the guest VM, from my host Mac, When i am at hoem, but when i am at work, i CAN.
also, from the guet VM, i cannot access my office network, even though i have VPN and from my host Mac, i can access the office network, and ssh to hosts there.
Any idea how i can resolve this ? I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
-Kamal.

Get a book on networking 101. You have a network configuration error. The VM probably still has the IP of the Work LAN, or you set one statically. Either way, it's not in the range of your Host at this time. If you want to have connectivity between the Host and Guest no matter where you are, configure Host-Only as a separate adapter.
