I am running Vagrant and VirtualBox on Ubuntu 14.04. My web app is built with Laravel and uses Homestead.
The application makes a web service call to a machine on my local area network. I can successfully reach the server from my OS web browser.
However, my web application cannot access this web service as it does not appear to be sharing my local network settings.
Based on my Google searches I have tried changing the Network settings in VirtualBox under the "Attached To" setting. Changing Adapter 1 to Bridged Adapter. However, this did not work.
Is there a way to allow my VM to communicate with a web service on my LAN?
aaronfarr,
I have as host Win7_64 with VirtualBox and as VM an openSuse.
With network configured like in the below picture and also inside VM the same proxy settings like on host, I can do same things both on VM and host machine.

I want to test my website on edge and internet explorer so I tried using a windows VM, I am currently on linux mint 19.1, I start the gohugo server with "hugo server --disableFastRender" and create the VM in virtualbox using bridged adapter but I cant load localhost:1313 on the vm.
I tried using NAT and port forwarding but I have the same results, also tried the conection between the host and VM using ping and the VM can reach the host but the host cant connect to the VM so I guess that the problem is there but I dont know what to do now. The place where I am working uses IPv6 and I never worked with it before so maybe it has something to do with that
Start your site as usual with hugo server, which makes it available at http://localhost:1313
Leave your Windows VM network settings at their defaults
In your Windows VM, navigate to http://10.0.2.2:1313 to hit your hugo site
In a nutshell, 10.0.2.2 on your Windows VM (its default gateway) is equivalent to localhost on your linux host.
You can get the default gateway of your Windows VM by running ipconfig in Command Prompt.
I want to access the virtual machine IP in the host (by ping or curl or something), but it is not ok. How could I make it?
The host machine is a win10 PC.
A virtual machine using VMware workstation 15, Ubuntu 16.04 server. It has IP address 192.168.178.138 and 10.0.0.11. I can access the 192.168.178.138, but cannot access 10.0.0.11. (no matter ping or curl...)
All are NAT mode in VMware Workstation.
Now I have a web application running on 10.0.0.11:80. How could I access it in my host machine.
Btw I have another VM with 192.168.178.39 and 10.0.0.31, and this VM can access the 10.0.0.11:80 by curl.
I can show the topo as below.
(A little Chinese but it won't affect reading, just ignore it)
Yes, now I solve this question by myself.
It seems that you cannot use the Host-only mode (Actually I can only use this mode...).
You need to set the virtual interface in your host PC (The IP, gateway, or anything else...);
Then you need to set in the VMWare workstation, set it to use speical lan (VM net 2 for me);
Then you can access it from the host machine and other vm, maybe you need to search something like NAT translation in VMWare workstation to access your web application deployed in the VM from outer network.
That's what I do, now I can access my horizon dashboard in the browser (The Ubuntu server don't have any browser... T-T sad ...)

I'm developing a web application in Ubuntu run in VM Ware Player. The VM is hosted on my Windows 8.1 machine. I want to test the application in Internet Explorer, so is there any way I can make requests to the server and test the application from the host OS?
Yes you can. You need to check the ip address of your VM
type this in ubuntu terminal:
ifconfig
check what ip address it uses then you can access it through browser
I have been trying to setup a Win7 VM on Hyper-v that connects to the internet through my Win 8 host machine.
I can't seem to figure out why the VM can't ever get passed limited connectivity. Any ideas?
NO sure why but all I had to do was Disable/enable the vEthernet adapter and everything worked great!
Check that you have a Virtual Switch with an "External Network" using the Virtual Switch Manager.
The other network types offer VM isolation. If your VM is on an "Private Network" it can only talk to other VMs on the server. The "Internal Network" allows VMs can talk to other VMs and to the host.
In contrast, an External Network allows the VM to contact machines on the network that the host is attached to.
I worked on this issue for a while myself after upgrading to Windows 8.1 and losing connectivity. Added and removed the adapter to no avail. The solution was to upgrade the VM's Integration Services.
I had the same issue because my DHCP settings on my guest VM was setup wrong.
So check the DHCP setting if they are on obtain automatically.
Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections
Network adapter properties -> Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) -> Properties ->
Obtain DNS server address automatically
I have had great success with Hyper-V and windows 8 and windows 10 virtuals using external switches with a Windows 8.1 host. Unfortunately I could not get the external switch to ever work on windows xp virtual running under Hyper-V. Instead, after reading a lot of sites/suggestions, I followed this guide to bridge an internal virtual switch (with Hyper-V legacy network adapter for XP) to the host wifi. I hope this saves someone else some time when working on an XP virtual.
Using Hyper-V with a Wireless Network Adapter
Networking is not a strong skill set of mine and I'm new to VirtualBox..so here we go -
I've got a Windows (XP) VM running on VirtualBox. I am able to use remote desktop to connect to the VM with no problems.
The Problem: I need to connect to another network via VPN on the virtual machine. However, once connected, all local network resources become unavailable. As a result, my remote desktop session is disconnected.
Question: Is there another way to remotely access the VM? Is there some way that VirtualBox can route me to the VM without using the Windows RDC functionality so that I can have an active VPN connection but still control the VM remotely.
Should have done some more research. This feature is already built into VirtualBox. You can log into the VM through the host machine.
All you have to do is turn on remote display in the settings for the VM and choose the port that you want to use (make sure to make appropriate firewall changes). Then you remote to that port on the host machine.
Ex: Host machine has an IP of 192.168.1.200 and you set up port 3395 for the remote display - you would open Remote Desktop Connection and use 192.168.1.200:3395 and it would open the VM.
