Connecting Oracle VM VirtualBox To Your LAN

Oracle VM virtualbox is a computer virtual machine that enables you to create a computer system virtually. So instead of buying computer hardware and installing OS in it, oracle VM will do the task as a software. You can create multiple VMs on oracle virtualbox for testing or development. So this means that you can save money when it comes to computer hardware. So if we are talking about VMs we may ask if that can connect also to outside network or LAN. Since we need also to access computers in the LAN or we want this VM accessible on other computers. Oracle VM is capable of doing this.


Oracle VirtualBox Network Settings For LAN connections


On VirtualBox Manager, click on the Virtual Machine and click on Settings.


Then click on Network tab and then choose adapter then on Attached to combox, choose Bridge Adapter. Make sure the ip address of your VM is on the same network subnet.


That's it. Your oracle vm is now connected to your LAN. Just ping your router or any pc connected on your network for testing purposes. One thing, if your virtual machine is not reachable, just ipconfig on command line then make sure the ip address is correct or else setup ip address in command if something goes wrong when you setup ip address from GUI.
