Hi,
I'm trying to get "Internal networking" to work between two XP virtual
machines on a same host but had no luck so far.
I'm sure I'm missing something stupid but I just don't see what. Some
insights would be great
My configuration is
Host system :
- Windows XP, wireless card, static ip 10.0.0.10, mask 255.255.255.0,
gateway 10.0.0.254
VM1 ("XP1") :
- Windows XP, static ip 192.168.0.1, mask 255.255.255.0, no gateway
VM2 ("XP2") :
- Windows XP, static ip 192.168.0.2, mask 255.255.255.0, no gateway
Following the docs, this is how I tried to set up the internal network
(named "faraday") :
VBoxManage modifyvm XP1 -nic1 intnet
VBoxManage modifyvm XP1 -intnet1 faraday
VBoxManage modifyvm XP2 -nic1 intnet
VBoxManage modifyvm XP2 -intnet1 faraday
So the two vms should now be able to ping themselves, right ? At least
that's what I understood.
The doc makes it clear (at least to me) that VirtualBox takes care of the
wiring between the two vms and that no changes need
to be appliedto the host network configuration (no extra virtual nic
needed).
Using the same network id ("faraday") should be enough to make it happen.
Obviously it doesn't, the vms don't see each other (no ping response).
What am I missing ??
I also tried to use ips from the same subnet as the host (10.0.0.x) for the
vms but didn't get better results.
Thanks,
Cedric
