Or VBox has any other way? Your VM's use NAT networking. Each VM has its own virtual LAN and VBox provides each with a tiny DHCP server which issues 10.0.2.15 to the VM. On the outside, each VM is just a program in the host system which opens IP listener sockets for each service which runs in the VM. >How to distinguish between the two vms if I am sending messages? By port forwarding. If two VM's have the same listeners (say a webserver listening on port 80), they have to be represented by different ports in the host, one VM might use port 8080, the other 8081. >Any solution to resolve? Read the Networking chapter in the fine manual. Use the VBoxManage utility program to define a different port mapping for each VM. If you have a LAN with its own DHCP server (e.g. integrated in your ADSL modem/router), you can use bridged networking. -- ( Kees Nuyt ) c[_] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.
