Hello,
I am baffled by this for a while.
I need a database server to be set up in a virtual machine
I use VirtualPC, but I borrow the virtual host-only adapter by virtualbox
In virtual box, I
1) Use host only adapter 192.168.56.10
2) Use subnet 255.255.255.0
3) Use DHCP server set as my router/gateway for example 192.168.0.1
I used to get it right one time, no need to bridge, but this time I just can't get it right
4) In my virtual host adapter setup in control panel,
I use gateway and DNS as my router/gateway for example 192.168.0.1
I uncheck LMHOST and Netbios over TCP/IP
5) I disable the firewall for virtualbox and virtualpc
In my guest,
I use DHCP to grab ip for this VM. The upper part is left blank
and I set DNS as 192.168.0.1 at the bottom part.
Sometimes the guest nic can ping to the virtual host-only adapter,
but not up to the gateway, therefore no internet and no access to
other machines. One of my major concerns is to show this machine in my host window explorer. I tried various methods but still can't get it right.
Anyone knows of a good guide for me to set this up properly?
I tried youtube and google, but no good.
Thanks
Jack
