I host a virtual machine (Windows 7) on my machine through VirtualBox. I am using a bridge connection with my laptop. I am trying to access localhosta virtual machine from another computer on the network. When I use ipconfigfrom my main machine, I get:
Ethernet adapter VirtualBox Host-Only Network:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::9538:86c4:59e3:a43f%23
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.56.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
When I try to access 192.168.56.1, I cannot load the page. I can ping 192.168.56.1and get a response, but I'm not sure if this is the correct IP address to use.
I also tried using the IP address from the guest machine (VM)
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :

but I can not get the answer when ping 192.168.2.24from my host. Any suggestions here?
