  • Host OS: Windows 7
  • Guest OS: Ret Hat Linux (RHEL 6) and Windows 7

I want to connect to both guest OSes. I tried to ping both guests, but it is not working. Both guests can ping my Windows 7 host though.

Hi Kuldeep. While I understand you might not be proficient in English please at least use a spell checker and properly capitalize. Also, you might want to edit your question and tell us more about how you set up networking in VirtualBox, what the IP addresses of your systems are, et cetera. – slhck Dec 18 '12 at 15:18

  1. If you want your VM to be accessible on network like a standalone machine (I guess that is what you trying to do), check following

    • In VirtualBox GUI interface, under network setting of each VM, select bridge mode, not NAT.

    • Within each VM, either setup static IP or dhcp.

  2. For firewall blocking issue, Check out my answer for another question here

    On hosting machine, in file explorer, go to

    Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Windows Firewall\Allowed apps

    The above path is for windows 8, other windows version may differ slightly.

    Look for application name (eg. Virtual Box is "Oracle VM VirtualBox"). There are 3 check boxes for the application, check mark them all, restart your app and it should work.
