virtualbox network question
Hello,
I just installed virtual box and trying to configure IP address. Before I configure, i clicked on I got there are no active network operations.
I am familiar with vmware workstation, but here I am not getting anything to setup the default network route.

My physical machine default IP addresses is 192.168.0.1 and I have created the VM in virtual box and loaded Solaris, now I have created the default route to 192.168.0.1 in solaris, but I can't ping.
Well that depends on which networking mode, Virtualbox VM is using Bridged, Host only or NAT.
what IP Address does the VM have, and what networking mode are you using ?

I am using NAT as networking mode to access outside as well.

How does VM knows about hypervisor connectivity? that piece is missing.

Now, I can ping each VMs, but I can't ping host or host can't ping VMs. I have used NAT network.
Am I missign some thing here?

okay, what are the IP Addresses, of the host and VMs.
The VMs do not really know about the Hypervisor connectivity, it's the NAT network and virtual network which is created by virtualbox.

host IP address is 192.168.0.16
and VM IPs are 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.4
and VM IPs are 192.168.0.5 and 192.168.0.4
and this is NAT ?

Thank you
no problems, thank you for your kind words.
default network route, is set in the OS TCP/IP parameters for the physical network interface in the host, nothing to do with the Hypervisor ?
If you are referring to VMware's Virtual Network Editor, you will need to use VBoxManage command line tool
to create a NAT Network
e.g. VBoxManage natnetwork add --netname natnet1 --network "192.168.15.0/24" --enable
