How do I set up a network between the Host and the guest OS in Windows vista?
Give the guest two network adapters, one NAT and the other Host-only. The NAT one will allow the guest to see the Internet, and the Host-only one will allow the host to see the guest.
One of them also allows the guest to see the host. I'm not sure which, but I know it works since I've tested web server stuff with it. You just have to choose the right IP address, 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x.
Also, you may have to be careful about having File and Printer Sharing running on both adapters at once, since the guest will see its own name and conflict with itself. I ran into this during install.
I've got a better answer than my first one.
Give the guest a single Host-only network adapter, and enable Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on the host. I've tried this on a Windows XP host with a Windows XP guest.
The guest can connect to the Internet.
The guest can connect to the host at an address like 192.168.0.1 (chosen by ICS). -- Remember to allow the guest through the host's firewall.
The host can connect to the guest at an address like 192.168.0.22 (assigned by the DHCP service provided by ICS).
You can do this on a Linux host. I've documented the steps I took in Ubuntu 9.04 here.
I don't run vista, but virtualbox should do most of the setup for you - all you need to do is assign an IP address, subnet mask, and (optionally) a default gateway to your guest OS, and it should just work.
Don't bother with any of the advanced network settings in the options for the VM - they're useful in some situations, but I've never had to use them, and I've been using virtualbox for some years now.
If you post the specific problem you're having perhaps I can help more. But your question is rather vague...

On Windows 10 i try to set up a ubuntu server VM with a static IP.
How can i accomplish this ? I heard that i have to use a bridge connection ?
I want the ip of my vm be accessible from my windows session.
Thanks
If you require the guest to be accessible from the local LAN you will need to use the bridged adapter, thus allowing DHCP from the directly connected LAN. (you can take the DHCP address and statically assign it to the guest or do a DHCP reservation)
Another option is to setup a NATNetwork (VirtualBox/Preferences) setup Port Forwarding to allow your VirtualBox host (192.168.56.0/24) to forward tcp/udp to your static assigned guest IP 10.0.2.x/24
Host request
https://192.168.56.x:1234 will be forwarded to your unbuntu guest static IP of 10.0.2.x:443
External request will require routing tables on the remote computer to be added or windows 10 LAN default gateway will require static route for 192.168.56.x/24 via Windows 10 LAN IP, however your host firewall rules will have to configured.

I have virtualised an ancient XP machine that was on physical hardware that was dying and am running the VM from inside a windows 8 64-bit host on the same network.
The VM is required to be on the same network as host as it is the only thing configured to talk to a piece of equipment connected on the network.
However when I set the adapter to Bridge mode in the VM the XP Vm doesnt recieve an IP address and cant communicate on the network. It works in NAT mode, however then the VM cant be on the same network as host and see the hardware that it needs to talk to.
Any one think of a reason why Bridge mode isn't working? and what I could do to fix it.
Summary
Windows 8 64bit, VM Player 10 Host
XP 32bit VM.
Bridged adaptor not working on host network.
Ok well the answer was not so simple.
Basically the switch that the host computer is connected to is a Cisco switch with port security enabled. So it wasn't allowing the second MAC address from my VM access to the network. I contacted the networking guys and they removed port security for the particular port (or upped the limit on the number of devices allowed on the port) and all is good now.

I am running Tunnelblick from my Mac.
My local network is 192.168.0.0/32 and the network I am trying to connect is 192.168.252.0/22.
Also, I am using a VM (Parallels) running Windows 8.1.
I want to connect to a VPN from my Mac and share this network with my VM.
So, I am facing some problems to do that. Here they go:
When I'm connected to the VPN, my ip address does not change to the ip address from the VPN network. My ip is still 192.168.0.132.
Despite the problem with the ip address, from the host I still can 'ping' the hosts from the network I am trying to connect writing 'ping host.domain.com'. But 'ping host' does not work.
I've already set the network to ‘shared’ in the device menu from Parallels. But, even with this, my ip address from the VM is 10.211.55.4.
In my VM I can't even ping the hosts from the other network
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear enough. All this problem is a little complex to describe.
Something important: The same configuration file I am using works perfectly (without the IP and the DNS problems) when I am using a Windows machine.
Change the VM's network adapter type to "Shared" within Parallels Desktop.
Configure virtual machine
Change network source to shared network
if that still does not work, disable ipv6 in guest machine.

I am looking to get the IP of my dev server. Everything online says to either do ifconfig or to curl something like whatismyip. These are giving me 2 different addresses. Why?
To add: I have no idea if it's behind a router or anything. I simply have an IP that I SSH into. I assumed that address was the address of the server - but when I curl http://ifconfig.me/ I get a completely different address.
Disclaimer: I have close to 0 networking knowledge.
You are most likely behind a router that does network address translation. Your ifconfig could be showing an IP address from a private range, such as 192.168.xxx.xxx.
An alternative is that your development server has several network interfaces, in which case ifconfig should be showing you several (such as eth0, eth1). However, I have the feeling it's the first, because you didn't mention this.
You could possibly check for the former with a tool such as tracepath, thereby discovering the nodes in between your development server and the other servers. But it might just be easier to check with the IT administrator(s) for your development server.
Well if you're behind a router that could be one reason.
If your dev server is externally facing it's entirely possible that the DNS server that whatismyip is using has a different IP entry than the DNS server ifconfig.me is using.
try running tracert www.yahoo.com from the command line and see what IPs shows up in the results.

I'm hoping for a high level discussion of this problem I know is quickly approaching my application.
I have a server that binds on a specific port and manages TCP Sockets from my clients. I know that it is common practice to use VMWare to virtualize servers and run multiple servers at once.
How can a single server design be changed to support multiple servers?
Multiple servers can't bind to the same port. If I had to guess I would say a proxy server binds to the port and then sends connections off to the other servers to be handled as if it was still a single server application.
I'm wondering what options there are and what are the common practices for solving this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Each VMWare machine is essentially a standalone PC, as far as the OS running inside a VM is concerned. Like on a real PC, a server can bind to the same port on different IPs, and each running VM can have its own IP on the virtualized network. VMWare has a built-in DHCP router that manages the IPs and network traffic of its running VMs. Each VM can have its own real independant IP on the Host machine's actual network, or they can share the Host's IP via VMWare's built-in router. The OS in each VM doesn't know the difference. Go ahead and bind your server to the same port on each running VM, it will work fine. VMWare will handle the packet routing as needed.
