Hi Perryg!

Please forgive me! I did an error.

I have 'no' GUI on my Guest OS!

Hi Perryg!

I did it for 'eth0'.

ifconfig -a shows:

(I put the picture on a public server for its size)

Did you do a network restart?

From the hosts terminal/command window type VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use " " if the name has a space in it.

Hi Perryg!

The Host-Only Adapter (eth1) works now!

I think, I'm on the right way?!

For my Adapter 1 I choose Bridged Adapter.
It should be in my Guest OS 'eth0' ?

Which name should I take for that adapter?

en2: Thunderbolt Ethernet or en0 Wi-Fi (AirPort)

My Mac is wired connected to the Internet

Another question:

As I connect always from my Mac Shell to my Guest OSes, does it make sence to set a static IP to my Host-Only connections?

Is it possible to configure my network in this way:?

Adapter 1 : NAT
Adapter 2 : Bridged Adapter
Adapter 3 : Host-Only

Thanks for your great help!!!!!!!

With host-only the address will always be the same unless you use host-only on another guest, so if it is working I would leave it alone.
As for Bridged and NAT you don't need both. NAT will work for the guest to get to the Internet. If yo use Bridged then you don't need NAT.
