same IP for 2 guest OS in virtual box

icedT — Tue, 20 May 2008 12:56:11 GMT

is it possible to have 2 same IP ads of 2 guest OS in virtual box? the guests are VL5.8 and OpenSuse10.3

the problem is. . . I cannot use firefox for internet on both guest OS BUT internet connection / surfing goes OK with konqueror in VL only..

items considered:

1. using proxies for both guest OS
2. used DHCP
3 using eth0 as the NIC.

i have been spending almost half of my day for this i have tried some forum answers but still no response to my situation

You can't have the same IP for 2 guest and have them running at the same time.

Well, lets see if I got it right, you need that other hosts in your lan see the connections from the two VMs comming from the same ip?.

I've never used Virtualbox, but i've read that, like xen, it can use bridge and NAT for the network interfaces, so, use NAT and that way you should be able to surf the web from all your VMs.

If you want to access the VMs from your LAN, you should also setup port forwarding.
