Hi I have virtualbox installed on Windows Vista. I installed Kubuntu and Solaris 10 on virtualbox.
I want to communicate from vista to Solaris and Kubuntu machines so that I can do remote debugging of a program running on Solaris/Kubuntu. I added a Virtual Box Host Interface on Vista and configured it to use DHCP. I set up Networking for Kubuntu to use Virtual Box Host interface. After running kubuntu, I notice that its ip address is different from what Virtual Box Host Interface has. .....On Windows.......... Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host Interface 1: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::1d82:d367:e086:f54c%30 Autoconfiguration IPv4 Address. . : 169.254.245.76 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : ........... -----On Kubuntu------- etth2:avah inet addr : 169.254.3.355 .............. My questions a) Shouldn't kubuntu have same ip as the virtual box Host interface b) I am able to ping both IP's from command line (cmd) but other applications are not able to connect to 169.254.3.355. They simply report that host does not exist? All Applications inculding ftp, ssh, telnet do not work as they find that host does not exist. c) What should I do ensure that two-way communication happens Guest and Host OS Thank You Atishay
