By default, it chooses NAT for VMs you create. You can choose &quot;Bridged networking&quot; that would make the VM use 192.168.1.x subnet. For a more detailed explanation, check the URL below.<br />

If NAT is the current setting, what is 10.0.2.15 being translated to/from?

wonderful. I remember doing this thing a long time ago. Now it is all coming back. I got it going using bridged setting. Thank you very much!

I set up an ubantu virtual machine using VirtualBox. I can ping the internet from this virtual machine. It shows an ip address like 10.0.2.15. Which is different from my LAN subnet (192.168.1.xxx). <br />
<br />
I can ping my host machine from the virtual machine, but not the other way around. Can some one point out how to connect to the virtual machine address. Do I need to set up NAT?

ubantu vmware, can not reach ip address

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.

Virtualization

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
