Network issues with VirtualBox

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 2401 / 3 Years ago, sat, june 5, 2021, 10:10:37

I am running a Windows 8.1 laptop. I used VirtualBox to create a virtual Windows 2008 server. I am trying to send a file to the laptop. It did not go. When I tried to ping the laptop, it did not work. When I tried to ping another laptop on the network it did not work. When I pinged the wireless router it worked. I then tried to ping the virtual box from the laptop it worked. Also, I am able to use a web browser to down load files from the virtual machine.

Any ideas why? It seems pings work in one direction, but not the other.

The network is running off of a wireless router.

Check Network Adapter page you've probably attached the 'Network Adapter' to 'NAT', the virtual machine will be on a different network so no ping unless you define a manual routing.

If you have no knowledge on networks, the easy way is to attach the 'Network Adapter' to 'Bridge Adapter' and bridge to the interface you're using for you local network in you case probably wlan0.
