In my desktop at home I created two centos vms on oracle virtual box. I have selected "Bridge network" for both vms. Issue is I am not able to ping the vms from desktop.
And also I have installed apache on both vms. I am not able to access the apache from desktop.
Is this issue with the network setup or is this issue with iptables.
On CENTOS6 i have stopped iptables service as well but still not working.
What is the best practise for setting up the network for vms.

Re: Network setup on vms
Using bridged you will probably have your issues in the guest and not VirtualBox. ICMP and Apache are probably disallowed by default in your guest/s so instead of stopping iptables you should define and enable the ports you need. See CentOS for the proper procedure.
