Accessing addresses in NAT mode

Post by factor3 »

Greetings:

A hopefully quick question: when a virtual machine access the Internet through NAT, does it have an IP address that is accessible from the host? Or are IP addresses only given when in Bridged Adapter?

What I would like to do is have some virtual machines running on my host with unique IP addresses that only the host can see. This is because I want to route data from the Internet through the host and onto the virtual machine, but I don't want the virtual machine's IP address to be seen or accessed by anyone outside the host.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance for any information.
