Then we are going to tell each one of our (currently one :) That is a network configuration option provided by VirtualBox that allows your host to access your guest OS-es as if they were on some local network.įirst we need to create or enable a Host-only network of VitualBox. We are going to use 'Host-only networks'. Later we'll also want to be able to set up several boxes and allow them to communicate among themselves. Least from our own Notebook/desktop computer. On one hand it is good that no one from the Internet can access our box, but we'd like to be able to ssh into the virtual box at We cannot however access the box from the outside world. For example that's how we could Upgrade Linux packages and install new ones. It gave our Linux box an IP address, configured your host machine as a router and allowed users on the machine to access the outside world. VirtualBox sets up a network with NAT (Network Address Translation).

VirtualBox creates virtual networking for the boxes you run in it.
