I have a windows 2003 VM running on my windows xp machine.
The machine name of the VM is itdom.domain.com
The windows xp host machine is disconnected from the LAN.
I want to be able to connect to the VM from the host and vice versa using there computer names. For example the URL http://itlab.domain:7080/domainsm must be accessible from the host computer.
Is there any configuration that I can do on any of the machine to do this.
Just because you have no physical network connection doesn't stop you setting up networking on the host and guest machines. One way of doing this is to add an IP address to the host machine's physical network port and create a bridged network on that port so that the guest can also see it.
You don't say which VM technology you are using, but in many of them you can setup an internal network between the host and guest. All you need to do then is edit each hosts file to add a hostname for the IP address of the other machine. You may also need to configure firewalls to allow access between the two.
No doubt there are also other ways to achieve this.

My host machine is a Windows 10 OS.
My Virtual Box guest machine is a Ubuntu OS.
I launch a server and a gateway in my virtual machine in the following addresses:
https://127.0.0.1:8089/
https://127.0.0.1:18443/
I dont have any problem to access them from the guest machine. However, I would like to have access to those addresses from my windows host. How can I get it?
In order to access services hosted on your virtual machine from your host you need to configure your virtualbox network settings for that machine to bridged network, which will allow it to have an IP inside your LAN. You can find more information on virtualbox network types here.
Another option would be port forwarding with a NAT network configuration, where your host port would be a port over 1024 and the guest port would be your virtual machine ports (8089 and 18443).
I want to isolate the hyperv vm machine network from my local machine. I do not want hyper vm machine to see what other machines are in the same network when I do IP scanning from VM.
After creating the VM, you connect it to a virtual switch. That virtual switch is assigned to a NIC. That NIC connects to the internet and not your local LAN.
You can connect it to the internet via a dedicated connection or any number of other mechanisms. You're simply creating a second, independent network.
If you want the VM to use your LAN and a common internet connection, you'll have to resort to using a firewall.
I want to forward a port to a VM. However i dont want the VM to be behind my host PC, i want it to be connected directly to the router so that packets coming on that port go directly to the VM without passing through my host PC.
In other words, i want the VM to look like any other machine on the network.
EDIT: i used bridged adapter, but i couldnt make it connect to the network.
Thank you
The VM will use the Ethernet port in all cases and the OS in it.
Typically if you have Windows and a VM with a bridged port, you will see the traffic flow when you take a capture on the Windows machine. IP won't be the one from the Windows machine but the traffic, like said, will flow through the same physical interface.
Secondly, you need to use a bridged adapter. For the details you can find help here: Bridged networking not working in Virtualbox under Windows 10
I have installed and configured Hyper-V on my Laptop with Windows 10 Professional. I have as well one VM with Ubuntu 16.04 OS. My Problem is that I do not know how to access Windows 10 host Shared Folders from the Ubuntu Guest, when it is offline / not connected to Internet, which means when it has no IP address assigned. Here, I wish to keep automatic IP Address assigning (DHCP) enabled, as the laptop has only one NIC (WiFi).
The Ubuntu 16.04 has installed SAMBA. I can access shared folders of the Windows 10 Host when the host has IP Address assigned.
However, I am not always connected to the internet. When without internet I still want to access the host from the VM guest OS. For those moments I do not want to assign temporary IP Address to he WiFi NIC. I would like to have more elegant solution.
Is there a way to assign secondary IP Address to my laptop/host (this time static)? This IP Address would be used only for the guest OS to see the host at all the times, regardless of whether the host has dynamically assigned IP address or not.
Is there any other solution for my problem? Thank you many times.
Ok, I have found the solution for those having similar problem:
In Hyper-V Manager create one more Virtual Switch, this time Internal Virtual Switch.
In the host OS, here Windows 10, edit the newly created Virtual Switch and assign desired IP Address and Subnet Mask.
Since we need to communicate between Host and Guest only, there is no need to enter Default Gateway.
Save your settings, restart the Guest OS.
Now you will be able to ping the Host OS from the VM Guest OS, whether host is online or offline. Great!
I am using Virtual PC 2007 with Windows xp Pro as the Guest.
Is it possible to add the Virtual PC to the network of the guest PC and to the domain of the Guest PC?
I enabled NAT shared networking but that only allows internet access on the guest..
Thanks
This shouldn't be a problem when you add the guest to host's physical adapter:
In the settings for your VM, go to Networking and instead of "Shared networking (NAT)", select the NIC that's connected to the network on your host (e.g. "Realtek RTL8116 Gigabit Ethernet", or whatever your NIC is; this is equivalent to VMWare's Bridged Mode). That way, the guest will appear as a real computer on your network, and will work like a physical box on the network.
IIRC, MS VPC bypasses the default Windows firewall on the host, so only the guest's firewall applies; for other FW products, you may need to enable something like "permit packets not destined for this host".
Just to add to the above answer-
1.
Inside the Local Area Connection
Properties- VM Network Services Driver
wasnt installed without which the NIC
option wont appear in the Virtual
machine Network Adapter Configuration.
I reinstalled the Virtual PC and that
entry Virtual Machine Network
Driver appeared.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you can connect to a domain controller from the virtual computer.
If you know the IP address of a domain controller, try to ping it. Then try to ping it using the computer name, to see if name resolution is working correctly. What happens when you join a domain using Control Panel | System. Do you receive an error message?
I have not used Virtual PC, only VMWare workstation on Linux, so I do not know how the networking setup is on Virtual PC. On VMWare, you can choose between bridged and NAT networking for a virtual machine. I have been able to set up Windows guest computers as members of a windows domain using both kinds of network setup.
