If you were to run the ipconfig command on a virtual machine, you would get a result similar to the image below (Your IP address will most likely differ than the example).Īs you can see, the VM has an Ethernet adapter with an IP address of 10.0.2.15 and is using a class C subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. They VMs will also be able to communicate with each other on their shared internal network.īut what if you want to share files between your host and virtual machine? One method is to enable the Shared Folders feature on VirtualBox as seen in this video.īut if you want to configure your virtual machines to communicate with each other as if they were physical machines on the same network as your host computer then you can setup their network adapters so they can communicate on the same network as your host.īy default, VirtualBox VMs are configured to use NAT (Network Address Translation) to share the internet connection that they host PC is using.
You can create as many VMs as your host computer’s hardware can handle and these virtual machines will be able to use the host computer’s internet connection to go online. VirtualBox is Oracle’s free desktop virtualization platform that you can run on your Windows PC and create your own virtual machines for purposes such as testing new operating systems and software etc.
