[SOLVED] VirtualBox Networking.

hack3rcon · 08-16-2015, 04:58 AM

Hello.
I installed two VM in VirtualBox. A Linux VM and a Windows VM.
I want setup Linux as Server and Windows as Client. For this scenario, Which Networking mode is OK? "Internal Network" or "Host-only Adapter" ?

Thank you.

Either will work, the only reason you would go host-only is if you want the host machine to participate as well.

This has the breakdown on the options :- https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html

Thank you a lot.
Even my Linux want to provide DHCP service, Both modes are OK?

Yes, when the host is joined in the "host-only" network the host is given an extra interface which you can either use or ignore.
