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. Ultimately, I 'd like to have a Apache server running on my Centos Linux VM, and then access it using a client browser on my host machine. Regards, Jonathan
Easiest way would be to keep that NAT adapter and add a second host only network adapter. -------- Original Message -------- On Mar 30, 2019, 12:20, R360 Design INC via talk wrote:

I don't recall the setting up this was a issue with one of my assignments. It needs to be forwarded through the host net is the easiest way. NAT is not the problem, Virtual machines on virtual box seem to be forwarded or allowed access to the external network and nic settings on the host. Hope that helps, Nick

I've setup my Oracle VM like this many times. In the Network settings, make sure that the Adapter is set to Bridged Mode and use Intel Pro 1000MT. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sat, Mar 30, 2019 at 12:28 PM nick via talk <talk@gtalug.org> wrote:

I forgot to mention, there also is a port forwarding panel as another option too. -------- Original Message -------- On Mar 30, 2019, 12:20, R360 Design INC via talk wrote:

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

WSL is cool and all, but it's really designed for server/console mode only. The default WSL terminal is really clunky (it's essentially cmd.exe) so all your favourite copy and paste shortcuts aren't there. I haven't yet found a way to use a different terminal. While you can run an X server and interact with windowed programs, the performance is a bit dismal. The WSL home folder isn't accessible from Windows, but the Windows FS is available under /mnt/<Drive letter> For all my complaints, though, WSL does what I need. cheers, Stewart

I believe the next Windows 10 release will allow explorer to access the WSL folder somehow. https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2019/02/access-linux-files-from-windows-explorer...
For all my complaints, though, WSL does what I need.
It is a surprisingly useful feature. -- Len Sorensen
From top of my head, try "Host-only adapter" or "Bridged mode". -- William Park <opengeometry@yahoo.ca>

Any reason you're using NAT? If you have sufficient addresses on the LAN, go with bridged. Also, the guest additions brings some hardware features to the guest OS.
