HOST-GUEST Software Networking

Hello

I'm running VBox 4.3.26 on Maverick 10.9.5 having windows7 Pro as guest OS

The purpose is to networks two softwares: Davinci Resolve and Lightspace. Davinci resolve can become passive by networking with Lightspace via the IP address listed on the relative network tab. all via port 20002


As Long as I'm connected to the internet, a bridged connection works fine and I have no trouble in networking the softwares.

QUESTION:
how can I have the two softwares network together without internet connection?
I followed some steps in this old guide (first post doesn't allows URLs) but I'm still having some problems.


Besides the bridged connection that works with our office network, I setup an HostOnly on a different network (without gateway) but I can't ping the guest. I though that I might need a "fake" network on maverick as well to communicate with the guest and/or might be a port-blocking problem.

Firewall is off on windows

Thanks!

You don't need an internet connection, but the two VMs do need to be present on the same network. That will be true if they both use bridged, though you'd have to assign IP addresses presumably without a router. Or you can use NAT network, or host only mode. A good read of the networking section of the user manual should tell you what options VirtualBox gives you.

Apologise maybe I express myself wrong

Davinci runs on Mavericks and Lightspace on windows. I have only 1x VM

Same answer really, i.e. all PCs involved must be on the same network. That can mean "bridged" or "host only". Not NAT, as that is two separate networks connected by a one-way gateway.
