I'm trying to set up communication between my guest Windows 7 and host OSX machines. I have virtualbox configured with a vboxnet0
Host-only network with the following settings:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.21.19
IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
IPv6 Address:
IPv6 Network Mask Length: 0
and DHCP disabled.
I have my Windows 7 vm configured with Adapter 1 as a Bridged Adapter (that works correctly for internet access) and Adapter 2 as the vboxnet0
Host-only Adapter.
On the Windows 7 vm I see two active Local Area Connections, Network 2
(which I assume is the bridged one and looks to be configured correctly) and Unidentified network
which I assume is supposed to be the Host-only. I've read a lot about fixing Unidentified network
issues but all solutions rely on editing a registry value I do not have. Device manager on the Windows vm shows both adapters as Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter
which is why I assume I cannot find the correct registry value to edit in order to fix the Unidentified network
problem.
ifconfig vboxnet0
on the mac returns:
vboxnet0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00
inet 192.168.21.19 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.21.255
ipconfig /all
on the VM gives
