Problem on assigning static ip address.. RHEL 5 as guest OS on Virtualbox
Hi folks,
I'm just new to Linux and I need some help. I setup a small network at home that comprise of: 1. Desktop OS = Windows XP IP = 192.168.1.101 Using Virtualbox, I installed RHEL 5 as guest OS. Virtualbox host-only Network: IP=192.168.56.1 2. Laptop OS = Windows XP IP = 192.168.1.102 Using Virtualbox, I also installed RHEL 5 as guest OS. Virtualbox host-only Network: IP=192.168.56.1 The router's address is 192.168.1.254 and is connected to the internet. With those settings, everything is working fine. The RHEL5-Desktop can connect to the internet, and to 192.168.1.101(Desktop XP) and 192.168.1.102(Laptop XP) through smbclient. The RHEL5-Laptop can also do the same. Both RHEL5-Desktop and RHEL5-Laptop are using DHCP. The problem is I want to connect RHEL5-Desktop to RHEL5-Laptop through ssh. I tried assigning static IP to either RHEL5-Desktop or RHEL5-Laptop with the router's address as default gateway and the connection became pretty messed-up. I tried other things like leaving the default gateway blank or changing the Virtualbox host-only to 192.168.56.2 but still no luck. I hope somebody can give me a detailed instruction on how to do this correctly. I'd really appreciate it. |
