Hi Folks
I got 2 Debian Squeeze Virtual Boxes and I try to make them communicate via multicast. My host system is a Windows 7.

Does anybody has some ideas/ steps to follow to make this workable?

I am Using Virtual Box 4.2

On the Virtualbox side you need to use one of the following network mode : Bridged, Host-Only or Internal.
After, it is only a matter of configured the guest OS, which is not in scope of this forum.
