Hello everyone,
I have a VM virtualbox set up running CentOS Linux. The host OS is Windows 10. I then attempted to set up two-way network communication between the CentOS Guest and my Windows host. Has anyone attempted this and succeeded? I thought it would be straightforward but setting up the NAT adapter, and installing "VM Guest Addition" got me lost.
Hi Jonathan, I second Jon's recommendation of setting the network adapter to bridged mode and I'd like to offer you two alternatives to VirtualBox. The first alternative is Windows Subsystem for Linux < https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/faq>. This is more gentle on system resources than running any VM. The second alternative is if you have Windows 10 Professional or higher, you are licensed for Hyper-V. That would be a higher performance option than VirtualBox. Both are better integrated with Windows than VirtualBox. Regards, Clifford Ilkay +1 647-778-8696
