Domain between PC/Mac

Post by localuser »

Is there a way I can have my Server2008 running on my Host (win 7) and connect to my WinXP on my mac book pro without using the Bridged network? I was reading some about port forwarding but I am not sure that will work for me

If you want to communicate between guests running on two different hosts, have a look at section 6.7 in the manual entitled UDP tunnel networking. That is what it is designed to do.

Looked over it but I do not understand the syntax

My configurations right now

Host 1 IP=192.168.1.68 (Windows 7 with Server 2008 and Windows 7 VM's
Nic = NAT on Intel Pro/1000 MT Desktop (82540EM)
Server=
10.0.0.1
255.0.0.0
10.0.2.2

Address lease is 10.0.0.20 - 10.0.0.250

Host 2 IP =192.168.1.70 (Windows XP
Nic = Same

Do you mind filling in the blanks for me?

I try to put in VBoxManage modifyvm "Server2008" --nic <82540EM> I get syntax of the command is incorrect
and various other things but I keep coming back with nothing
