I am currently hosting a Linux distro (the guest) inside a Windows machine (the host).
How can I find the IP address of the Linux distro from Windows?

You can use the command line VBoxManage tool, e.g.:
VBoxManage guestproperty get [vmname] "/VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/0/V4/IP"
More generally (in case you have more adapters, IPv6, etc):
VBoxManage guestproperty get [vmname] "/VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/*"
No value set!
, while the guest does have a working connection.
VBoxManage guestproperty enumerate [vmname] "/VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/*"
will list all of the net-based properties.
If you know the VMWare OUI (first 6 characters of MAC address), you could do an arp -a
and look for the IP address associated with the VMWare MAC address. Try something similar to:
arp -a | findstr "00-50-56"
