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.
More detail from the VirtualBox site.

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 a beginner in vm, I always used a working vm :D but today I've a big problem... :?
I've just updated my system windows 10 with the new available and suggested update, but now I can't connect to my guest vm.
Before (after windows update) I runned virtualbox 5.1.14 and it doesn't work, now I installed virtualbox 5.1.30 with the same result.
Before window's update it worked.
Initially I had one problem, host-only network doesn't works and the vm didn't start, so I deleted the old host-only network and created a new one and now the vm start, but I can't connect to the machine, that has a static ip (192. 168. 109. 151), with putty via ssh port 22, and also via http.
I used this ip address to connect to vm via browser.
The vm can ping google, and in virtualbox command line I can log in and make everything.
Some one know why I can't connect with my vm?
In virtualbox preferences I have set host-only network with this values:
IPV5 address 219.168.56.1
DHCP: 192.168.56.102
mask: 255.255.255.0
lower: 192.168.56.103
upper: 192.168.56.254
ok, now I can access via putty to port 22. I needed to add the static ip of the vm to virtualbox host-only network net in windows control panel, to tcp/ip protocol.
Now I need to acces via browser. For the moment it doesn't works
I am working on a project in which we logon to client's machine using Cirtix receiver. The machine which we connect to using Citrix receiver is basically a Windows 7 machine. Once we are in the client's windows box, inside that we have virtual box, in which VM has been added and which has all the needed software for us to do the development; for example JBOSS, database etc.
In the host machine (windows 7), we have putty, and using putty we sometimes login to the VM (i.e. terminal). The confusion which I have is as below:
We login to the VM terminal using IP address: 127.0.0.1. This is where my confusion is. 127.0.0.1 normally is the IP address with which we can refer to the current machine; so how using this IP address we are able to connect to the VM which is added to the virtual box? Doesn't the VM which is in virtualbox has its own IP address with which we can connect to? Or is there some concept which I am not aware of.
Can anyone help me in understanding this? I am not well versed with virtualization, so for the gurus this might be a naive question.
Every VM will have their uuids so to access the VM inside virtualBox or any hypervisor for that matter. so you can use that particular VM uuid and u should be able to console to that VM.
in virtual box try below
You can use: VBoxManage list vms to list all currently registered VMs with their settings, names and UUIDs.
Once you know the UUID you can also start a vm by:
VBoxManage startvm which is essentially same as: VBoxManage startvm "Name-of-vm"
Also Vm has two interfaces one loopback which will have an address of 127.0.0.1 and the rest of the interfaces so to access the VM with particular ip you need to assign an IP to that VM interface and than try with that IP.Also you might have that port 22 open for that loopback ip so may be that is the reason you are able to connect on loopback
I hope this answers your question
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.
