In the VM (Linux) you have to configure an IP-address and a default route: sudo ipconfig eth0 192.168.56.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 arpĪ configured "Network Manager" might interfere with those settings.
Sudo ifconfig bridge1 addm vboxnet0 addm en1 Sudo ifconfig bridge1 destroy #if bridge1 still exists On the host in Terminal enter: sudo sysctl -w .forwarding=1 If you don't want to use "Bridged Adapter" but vboxnet0 do the following after starting VirtualBox:Īttach the VM adapter 1 to the "Host-only Adapter" and the "Name" vboxnet0. Please adapt the commands and change the interfaces below if necessary. Check this with ifconfig on your VM-host.
I assume en1 is your Wi-Fi interface and eth0 is the first adapter in your (Linux-)VM.
The VM can be accessed by all other computers in the same network (192.168.1.0/24) in your LAN directly.įinally it looks like this: WAN Router/Switch (& port fw to VM) Mac VM a web-server) you have to forward the respective ports in the router to the VM's IP. If you want to make the VM accessible to other computers in the WAN (internet) (e.g. The VM's en0 attached to the bridged adapter has to be configured with a unique IP in the same network range as the hosts interface IP. Go to the Network settings of the respective VM -> Adapter1 -> attached to: and change the type from whatever it is now to "Bridged Adapter" then choose your Wi-Fi interface: VirtualBox and OS X provide several (no-NAT) methods to connect your VM:įirst remove bridge1 in Terminal and use a "Bridged Adapter" instead of vboxnet0 in your VM.
