Windows Seven and Windows Server 2008 R2

Post by darksabersan »

Hello everyone,

I have a question for you guys.
I have Windows Seven 64bits as host machine without Internet Connection and I have Windows Server 2008 R2 as guest.
How can I do to setup them to be able to communicate with Windows Server and to run my web services?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Darksabersan.

Use the host-only adapter in the VirtualBox network settings of guest

Thank you Perryg for your quick answer.
But I think that my main problem is around the IP address setup.
Can you give an example how to do it in the correct way, I mean between Host/Guest/Virtualbox?
because it doesn't run.

Thank again.

If you do as I said and set the guest to use the host-only adapter it will get an address from the VBox dhcp server. Just set the guest to use dhcp.
The host and guest will be in the 192.168.56.* address scheme with the host = .1 and the guest = .101

See Chapter 6 in your VirtualBox users manual
