Hi great article.

I want to do the exact thing you doing.

Can you tell me what version of virtual box you are using?

Because I cannot create the “VirtualBox Host Interface 1″ there is no “Add No Interface” button

In my version, my network connections are already listed in the Host Interface area box.. Is there any other way i can create a new host interface?

Thanks,
Duniya

I’m using VirutalBox 2.1.4

Under Host Interface I got my wireless and lan.

My lan is no connected.

Anyway I tried bridging my lan and wireless, which created a MAC Bridge miniport.

I selected this in the host interface. But now i cannot ping at all in from the VM

I think I got it too work now..

The problem was due to my firewall.

I think the new version of virtualbox automatically does the network bridging, all the user needs do is select the host interface.

When I disabled my firewall I was able to ping between the host an VM.

Thanks for your help..

Hi,
but how to configure/bridge a host and a guest so that they are visible from other hosts in network as two separate hosts ? Actually, this is my problem. Host/guest can ping each other but from other hosts in the network only the host is reachable…

Pls, any hints?

Hi,
I am trying to setup Ubuntu on WinXp using VirtualBox 2.1.4 .
The problem I am facing is that in Networks, when i select HOST INTERFACE, it doesnt lists any HOST INTERFACEs, although I can see in Device Manager.
When I see the same Device In My Network Connections, its status is showing Network cable unplugged,Although the Ethernet Adapter is connected .(the VirtualBox Host Interface checkbox is ticked)

May i Know how to Enable this Ethernet Adapter?

Thanks in Advance,
Vivek

Hola!!!

En un servidor windows 2003 standar, instale virtual box con sistema operativo windows server 2008 enterpraise. hago el puente y todo va muy bien , hasta que hago el puente. Cuando creo el puente entre las dos redes, pierdo la conexion del servidor anfitrion y se apaga.

ah! tambien en las opciones de redes que tengo en el virtualbox, no tengo host anfitrion sino adaptador solo anfitrion. es lo mismo?

espero su colaboración, muchas gracias

But How can I access my Virtual machine outside of my LAN i.e. using internet on some other machine?

Hi,

I created a guest using VirtualBox 3.2.8 and have OpenSuse-11.3 running as a guest. I created a bridged network and connected the VB adapter to the real adapter (bridged it). Now i cannot connect to the host from the network. Any ideas?

hi!!! i’m using solaris 10 as guest os. i want my solaris vm to be visible in windows network as the host os is doing.

Thanks for this – I’d been using NAT & Bridging to connect to 2 different networks (172.* & 192.*) under Virtualbox.
Up until I installed 4.0 this all worked fine.. now it appears I needed to use NAT on my wired interface and Host Only on my wireless one and this page helped me to realise this. Thanks very much.. (Maybe I was doing it wrong all along!)

Thank you for the important information I managed to get from your web page.,

Hello,
this post saved me a lot of time i could spent struggling with this tip

hi,I have using my host machine in windows 7 & guest machine CentOs5.2 through SunVM vitual box,Now i want to access each other using ssh,putty.Now i am accessing net through data cable, my Host local area connection IP :192.168.186.1 so, what network setting required in SunVM machine & what should be the linux IP , so that i can communicate host to guest.

i want to use internet but not able to ping guest server through host .Can you give a step to config bridge.
Guest Machine IP eth0=10.0.2.15,eth1=192.168.183.1
I enable NAT & host Interface adapter.

also i have access the internet on both of them,host & guest but not ping host to guest.
Plz guide.

no way ! I successfully did the bridge but then none of my computer could access internet ! So I took of the bridge my local connection on the host, and it’s working again.
I’m now trying to put both cards on my guest VM (NAT for internet and HOSTONLY for local cnx). Really I found this quite hard…

Thanks you, very useful information
