Unable to reach guest network from host (Host-Only setup)
Posted: 24. Apr 2020, 21:39
Hi all,
I've spent the best part of a day looking at this and I'm stumped! Hopefully someone here can help! Based on what I've seen asked for on all the posts I've searched, I'll try and provide as much information here as I can, but happy to provide as much more as is needed.
This config was working perfectly, then suddenly the host only adapter changed from 192.168.56.* to a 169.*.*.* address. This happened in the middle of a day, without a reboot. Other users on my team use the same configuration.
I have subsequently uninstalled, reinstalled, disabled and re-enabled the network connection and the interal adapter in the properties. But still nothing.
Host Details
=================
Windows 10 v1909
VirtualBox 6.1.4
Host Network
=================
Currently working from home, so on the corporate VPN and hard wired into my home network.
Guest
=================
The same problem is happening on two different guests. Both are Linux - one Centos 6 and the other Centos 7.
Configuration of Guest networks here
On the guest itself - the config of the network is:
-- I have screenshots of the VirtualBox settings but cannot post them due to Forum restrictions --
I can ping from the guest to internal corporate resources and the host PC on the 172.31.224.22 IP.
I cannot access the VM on 192.168.56.106 from the host, meaning I cannot access my running applications. This is the problem I need help to resolve!
Any and all help would be appreciated!!
