![]() ![]() On the port forwarding pop up window, click Add(+) icon To enable putty/ssh connectivity to VM, you need to setup port forwarding:Ĭhange network adapter from Bridged adapter to NAT Following steps are to configure to allow your host computer, such as Windows laptop to putty into the VM when it is up. ![]() However, you can not putty/ssh to VM with NAT by default.Ģ. The good thing is you do not need to set the IP address of in your VM, such as in /etc/hosts every time your host IP address is changed, because it stays with fixed 10.0.2.15 (or fixed IP address), no matter where you are. ![]() VM with NAT as network adapter will be able to connect to host machine, and if host machine is connected to the internet, VM can connect to internet. You can find out what the fixed IP address is by opening a terminal window in the VM, run ifconfig as root user. In Virtualbox, it has IP address fixed at 10.0.2.15 or a fixed IP address. NAT gives a virtual machine access to network resources using the host computer's IP address. What is Network Address Translation (NAT)? The problem with bridged adapter is you will need to change the IP address every time your host OS IP address is changed, such as you take your laptop computer to a new place that gets a new IP address from the wifi router because of DHCP. If setting bridged adapter, VM will get the IP address from DHCP server, therefore, the IP address is dynamic. Some basic concept about network adapter shown in Virtualbox network settings:īridged adapter is to use the network adapter (such as wireless network interface of your notebook). Run Virtualbox app, make sure VM is powered off, select the VM in the Vertualbox.Ĭlick setting icon, click network, and change network adapter from bridged adapter to NAT. If not, you need to install openssh or other ssh daemonġ. This solution is only for Linux VM or any Unix flavor VM that has ssh daemon already started upon boot. ![]()
