I'm having trouble connecting XP ( Guest system on VBOX ) to Debian Testing (host).
The version VirtualBox 4.1.12
Relevant parts of the output of commands.
ifconfig on debian:
eth0
inet addr:192.168.158.5 Bcast:192.168.158.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
vboxnet0
inet addr:192.168.158.199 Bcast:192.168.158.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
ipconfig on XP:
IP Address 192.163.158.200
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
File->Preferences->Network->edit vboxnet0
yields the following dialogs:
Host-Only network Details
Adaptor:
Ipv4 Address:192.168.158.199
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Server
Server Address: 192.168.158.198
Server Mask:255.255.255.0
Lower Address Bound: 192.168.158.200
Upper Address Bound:192.168.158.254
I cannot ping either machine from the other. Any idea what the problem is?
