Any virtual computers on the same “host-only adapter network” will be able to speak to the host computer and each other. If multiple virtual networks have been created (maybe you want different networks for different virtual computers to simulate vlans) then make sure to choose the appropriate network from the “Name” drop down options. If a virtual network has been created then the virtual computer can be connected to it by using the “Network” option under the computers settings and choosing “Host-only Adapter”. Virtual Box also offers to provide a DHCP Server, although personally I prefer leave the DHCP option off and to give boxes static IP addresses. Virtual Box will offer to automatically configure the adapter or you can manually enter settings (IP address and network mask). Virtual network settings can be found under the “Tools”, where a virtual network can be created, deleted or amended. Virtual Box Network Settings Virtual Box – Network Settings Following on from my last blog post ( here) I am now going to take a brief look at the Virtual Box network settings.
As well as allowing for the creation of virtual computers, Virtual Box also gives several settings for virtual networks.
