![]() ![]() If, on the other hand, you intend to use DHCP, the values might look something like this: If you're intending to hard-code the IP address for this adapter within the guest's networking configuration, then these values are unnecessary. The values on the DHCP server tab are optional. You will be prompted to elevate VirtualBox's permissions.įilling-out the Adapter tab is mandatory it should look something like this (ignore the adapter labeled #2 that's used for something unrelated): Click the Host-only Networks tab and click the little + icon to add a new adapter. In VirtualBox, go to File -> Preferences -> Network. This adapter is slightly more complex to setup than the first, because it requires modifying VirtualBox's global networking preferences in order to configure the host-only adapter (note: this requires Administrator privileges). The second adapter must be set to Host-only, which enables bidirectional communication between the host and the guest. The first adapter must be set to NAT mode, which enables the guest to access network resources (including the Internet) through the host's network interface. Without a VPN, this is normally solved by creating two network adapters in the virtual machine's configuration. Also, this information assumes that no software firewall is interfering, neither on the host nor the guest. It is important to understand the configuration that is required in order to meet your requirements without involving a VPN. I had the exact same problem, and saw it through to resolution, so I'm happy to explain the problem and solution in detail. Ideally, there would be a configuration that satisfies all 3 conditions regardless whether there's a VPN or a direct connection. When it is plugged directly in, a bridged adapter satisfies all 3 conditions. I should also point out that sometimes the host is connected through a VPN while other times it is simply plugged directly into the corporate network. I've read a few answers and tried a few configurations, and here's what happens: ![]()
