Hello everyone,

I have problems connecting a client computer to a server on the Oracle VirtualBox. Both machines can ping each other. I have windows 7 pro SP1 64-bit installed on my laptop as a Host. I installed Oracle VirtualBox as guest and wanted to create a virtual client server network. I have a wireless Router. As I have very basic knowledge of networking and I would like to create client server network.
I installed 2 virtual machines on Oracle VirtualBOx, one is windows server 2008 and another is windows 7. Both virtual machines have the first adapters set to NAT
and the second apapters are set to Bridge network.
I installed Actice Directory and Domain Services on windows server 2008. I tried adding windows 7 to the domain but unsuccessful.
I have no Idea how to configure the domain server for static ip on wireless Router to create a client server network on the VirtualBox.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thank you.

The easiest and for most the best way to use and test Windows domains in VirtualBox
Setup Windows Domain in VirtualBox

Thanks for your reply but I have no idea how to set this up?

It is fairly simple and a lot more so than setting up the domain.

For each guest that is in the domain you set the network adapter to use Internal. (Intnet)
You do not use a second adapter in any of the domain guests.
If you need to have the Internet on the domain you create another guest to do your routing.
This will keep the domain out of your local LAN and is the easiest way to achieve your setup.

Once you have the guests in the same Intnet (which emulates a network switch) the rest is domain and network configuration which is outside the scope of this forum. MS has a fine forum on AD and domain setup.
