Sorry Gaurav,
I dont know about windows as a host for vbox guests.
I tried (a couple of times) to make Host Interace
networking on Windows work, for a Linx (Fedora) guest.
It never worked, even with guest tools installed.
You would think that VBOX on windows would automatically
enable NAT'ing and IP-FORWARDING when the virtual machine,
which is configured with Host interface, is started. But
that does not seem to be the case.
Also, the host is unable to obtain an IP address, which
is also something that VBOX should enable on the windows
host virtual interface (i.e. turn on the DHCP service on
the virtual interface), so the host can obtain an ip address.
Slowly, I think the developers will polish this nice product.
Regards,
JD

Hi JD, Thanks for your response. Did you assume that the host will be
ubuntu, because the terms you are using seem to be linux oriented. The
host is going to be a windows host. tap0 and tunneling would be
relevant for ubuntu.

Subject: Re: [vbox-users] What kind of networking combination do I need?
Hi Gaurav,
1. You need to use Host Interface - NOT NAT.
2. You will need to enable the DHCP daemon on the host to
accept requests over the tap0 interface.
3. You will need to use tunctl to create tap0 and
ifconfig it to ip address 10.0.2.1 (for example)
Cheers,

Hi Folks,
I am trying to setup two virtual machines like this:
1) each VM needs to have internet working
2) each VM should have a private internal network interface
3) each VM should also have a IP which should be accessible from each
other. e.g. If VM1 has 10.0.2.10 and VM2 has 10.0.2.11, VM1 should be
able to ssh into 10.0.2.11 and vice-versa.
What kind of a virtualbox networking setup do I need? Till now, I
have been able to make only NAT and internal networking work -- with
windows host and Ubuntu VMs. Host Only networking is turning out
difficult to get to work.. even with the promiscuous wireless mode in
windows.
I would appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks
Gaurav
