how can i enable Nat (network) to host a server on virtual box and join domain on virtual box using the NAT (network). i was unable communicate within each other. When i set ip for server IP:192.168.0.16, default: 192.168.0.1, subnet: 255.255.255.0 DNS:192.168.0.16, client ip:192.168.0.17, subnet:255.255.255.0, default: 192.168.0.1 DNS: 192.168.0.16. but when i try ping it say host unreachable. can anyone advise me how to get this pass through using NAT?

NAT is a one way networking protocol and not really what you need for domains, use bridged.
Or better yet, the easiest and for most the best way to use and test Windows domains in VirtualBox
Setup Windows Domain in VirtualBox

Sure. See NAT with port forwarding in your VirtualBox users manual.

Could you attach a screenshot of your NAT forwarding in Virtualbox?

You should really read the user manual section about NAT configuration first
