Hi
I am beginner and need some help in making inter networking between host and virtual machine.On my machine these software are installed
1. ubuntu 9.04 (Host)
2. virtual Box 3.0.8
3. ubuntu 9.04 (virtual machine)
i have assigned the IP to host eth0 using file /etc/networking/interfaces. while on virtual machine eth0 ip assigned by VirtualBox. i am replacing this IP with same class which assigned host.
The problem is that, when i was send a ping command from host to virtual machine or virtual machine to host , then response is unreached host.

any tutorial or web link that helpful for me.thanks for advanced.

How about WinXP as the host and Fedora 11 as the guests?

suse 11.1 host / winxp guest

1. No manual configuration required.
2. Set up network bridge during OS installation.
3. Configure br0 IP, bind to eth0; leave eth0 unconfigured.
4. Install VBox 2.2.2 or later.
5. In Vbox guest network settings, select bridge option, select br0 interface.
6. In guest OS, set static ip to same subnet as host, or use auto ip if dhcp server is present on your network.

Did not quite work for me. here was my solution
VirtualBox Host Interface on FC7 HOST with a static IP on the VBox Guest OS
============================================================================
HOST
——
#uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.21-1.3194.fc7 #1 SMP Wed May 23 22:35:01 EDT 2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
# rpm -qa | grep VirtualBox
VirtualBox-1.6.4_33808_fedora7-1

We are going to use eth1 on the Host with br0
We are going to use eth1 on the Guest

1. (HOST) – edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0
DEVICE=br0
TYPE=Bridge
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
DELAY=0
STP=off

2. (HOST) – edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BRIDGE=br0

3. (HOST) – restart the network on the HOST

/etc/init.d/network restart

4. (HOST) – find the userid of the process that will run VirtualBox

ps -ef | grep -i virtual

5. (HOST) – add ther Virtual Inteface that the Guest will use

VBoxAddIF vbox0 userid br0

6. (HOST) – change permission on the tunnel device

sudo chmod 0666 /dev/net/tun

7. (Guest) – start virtualbox

8. (Guest) – edit a FC7 Virtual Machine
Machine -> Settings ->Network ->Adapter 1
[x] Enable Network Adapter
Atached to: Host Interface
[x] Cable connected
Adapter Type: (Leave it)
MAC Address (leave it or generate it)

Interface Name
vbox0

9. (Guest) – start the FC7 Virtual Machine

10. (Guest) – Login and edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no
HWADDR=00:16:17:8e:13:50
IPADDR=192.168.15.99 # or whaterver you want
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 # or whatever you want
GATEWAY=1921.68.15.1 # or whatever

11. (Guest) – edit DNS info /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.15.1 # or whatever you DNS servers are

12. (Guest) – edit the zeroconf network /etc/sysconfig/network
(add the following line)
NOZEROCONF=yes

13. (Guest) – restart the network

/etc/init.d/network restart

Thank you very much. It works. Took me so long to find out how to solve the problem.

But I have to change the sequence of step 5 and 6.

Step 5:
# service network restart

Step 6:
# VBoxAddIF vbox0 YOURUSERNAME br0
# service vboxnet restart
