Hi All,

I am using virtual box in my company. The only thing poking my mind is to use this software in the network. If i try to create two guest OSes and try to create a network between them, then somewhere will my company network will get affected??

If I use my company network for the guest OSes also (accessing internet), then intruders and viral soft wares can affect the entire network ??

By the way i am very new for virtualization as well as Virtual box software usage.

Any replies will be helpful.

Thanks
Senthil

You should find it all in the user manual, specifically section 6.2.

There is nothing magical about virtual networks. They work just like physical networks. The situation is no different from connecting two physical machines to a physical switch. Whether other people can see them depends on how you configure the network.
