However none of these settings are ok with you if you want to have either connectivity between both VMs and the Internet. NAT is set only when you just want Internet access from your VM and nothing else. So, if you want to create an internal network with connectivity to the host choose NAT Network, but notice that you will have no Internet access.

Generic: Advanced and more specific configuration rarely used. NAT Network: You can reach all VMs in the same pre-defined NAT network and the host, but you won't be able to connect to Internet.īridged: Your VM will be in the same network that your host as if it were other computer/server in this network, and thus, it will have Internet acces if your host has. Host only: A virtual network will be created between the host and all the VMs with this configuration, but you will have no Internet access. Internal: All VMs with this configuration will have connectivity among them but not with the host nor Internet. Two or more VMs in NAT mode don't have connectivity among them, only with the host and Internet. NAT: Internal network between VM and host. While if o change “NAT Network” to “NAT” I can access the network but it seems the become part of different virtual network and I can not ping them from each otherĬan anybody help me in identifying and fixing problemĬan anyone also explain whats difference between NAT and NAT NetworkĪccording to VirtualBox manual, these are the network possibilities for your VMs: Ifconfig results on Xubutracentu2 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:00:8c:03īut I can not access Internet on either of these VMs TX packets:48 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 TX packets:47 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 RX packets:43 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Ifconfig results on Xubuntu1 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:00:8c:03 When I run both VMs I can see following settings on running ifconfig command


I have created a a NAT Network in VirtulBox 5 In Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with following settingsĪdditionally I have two VMs (Both Xubuntu clones), I have set the Network settings to enable two NICs on each of the VM with following settings in all four adapters:
