MY QUESTION IS: How do I setup networking between host and guest in VirtualBox that is completely independent of the physical network adapters on my Mac and whether or not they have a live connection? tgrushka Posts: 3 Joined: 23.

except if I switch my Airport back to my Internet connection, the manual IP set up in the duplicate Airport connection no longer works. The only workaround I've found is to duplicate the Airport connection, use that as the Host Interface in VB, then create a Computer Network in airport and assign it a manual address. Am I the only one who wants to be able to network between VB guest and host on OS X without needing a live network connection to do it?


If I lose my internet connection, such as on an airplane, where I cannot use wireless or ethernet, EVEN IF I manually configure an IP address, OS X considers the interface "unplugged" and will not allow it to be used.Ĭan't find anything online about this. I can access the guest from the host, and the host from the guest.īUT. When I'm at home or somewhere where I have access to a wireless network or plug-in Ethernet, Host Networking works GREAT in VB. I've tried installing TUNTAP ( ) to no avail. I cannot select a "loopback" or "dummy" interface as there is no way to create one under System Preferences/Networking. Under Host Interface, I can select only en0, ethernet, or en1, Airport. Web and database servers are set up on both host and guest.
