virtualbox.org

Hi all,

I am pretty new to Virtualbox and still learning my way...
I have created 2 VMs based on Windows 2008 R2 SP1 sucessfully.
Everything works I can connect to each of the VMs and perform on them...great!
Now I like to set up a Virtual network...I went to settings/network/adapter 2 and just used Internal Network in Attached to and confirmed. I did this on both VMs restarted them and can not reach one VM from the other via ping.
Ping says: timeout

Did I forget a config step?
How to troubleshoot this?

I am working with VM 4.1

Would very much appreciate your help...

Thank you
Ludwig

That just gives you a network. Have given the NICs IP addresses etc?

Also note that firewalls will block ping, even built-in ones.

Hi BillG,

Thank you for your reply. I did disable the the firewalls but not sure how to give Nic IP addresses.
Could you please guide me through thid porcess?

Thank you
Ludwig

In Windows you configure networking from the Network and Sharing Center. Go there and see how the NICs are configured (or do an ipconfig at a command prompt).
