two virtualbox (internal-network) setup

[Dick Dowdell]

Engineer Amer,

If I understood your requirement, you need to set up two virtual machines
within VirtualBox running on a Ubuntu host.  These two VMs must be visible
to each other (and probably visible to the host machine). If that is
correct, the VirtualBox solution is very simple:

   - Use the Network settings to enable, on each of the VMs, two network
   adapters, a NAT adapter and a Host-only adapter...
   - Log on to each VM and use the ifconfig command to view the network
   interface assignments.  Typically, the Host-only assignment will be eth1
   and have an IP address of 192.168.56.nnn.  Each VM will be visible at that
   address from the host and the other VM.

This has always worked for me.

If you need to reach either of the VMs from outside the host, you can use
the VirtualBox Network Manager to set up port forwarding to the appropriate
VM and port.  I hope this helps.  I attached images of the Network dialog
boxes to an earlier posting, but they're being held for monitor approval.
Regards,
Dick Dowdell
