In the company that I work, we have Windows 7 installed on all PCs. We don't have internet access through Windows but can set proxy settings in Firefox and can thus access the Internet.
I installed a virtual box on one of these Windows 7 machines and Ubuntu 14.10 but I have problem with accessing the Internet.
How can I access the Internet through the proxy server via an Ubuntu virtual box running under Windows 7?
you have to make a Network Bridge in Windows (between VBox Host-Only Network and the Controller connected to the Internet)
In Virtualbox you can leave the Adapter at NAT
I´m using this with my debian-vm. Additionally I added the Network-Proxy as system-wide Proxy in my VM.
Good Luck!
I think you can use Bridged network mode on your virtual box. Then assign IP address for you ubuntu to connect to your network, and then use the proxy setting at the ubuntu's internet browser.
you can set the proxy for the console:
$export http_proxy=http://[ipproxy]:[port]
on firefox you can set the proxy in the network settings.
$export http_proxy=http://[ipproxy]:[port]
this is works for me in solaris
network setting is in bridge

I am trying to create a Linux virtual machine hosted in Windows 10 that has a unique IP address from the host. I understand that a bridged connection is required for this but can not find simple instructions for how to accomplish this.
When I change the network settings in Virtualbox to 'Bridged Adapter' and set the Promiscuous mode to 'allow all' the virtual machine cannot connect to the internet. I assume there is something in the Windows host that needs to be done but can not find what that is.
Strange, on work I can normally connect to internet with my Ubuntu 16.04 Server via briged wireless adapter, but at home I can't (when "A start job is running" sequence is over and after I log in to server there is no internet connection). I also tried to connect at friend's place but also result is negative.
Bridging with Lan adapter works perfectly, but I would rather use Wi-fi bridged adapter if I can. NAT or Host-only are not an option. Is it possible that router that my ISP gave me is problem? Any thoughts?
Change the adaptor to wireless, present below Bridged Adapter. And try.
I red lot of post about this question without find the good answer. The situation is simple, I have a server (Go) running on Ubuntu 14.04 (VMware Workstation 12.1.0 Pro). It listens on the 8001/8002 ports. From the host of the VM (Windows 10), I can access it from the host (Windows 10) but from my Xamarin Application or the others computers, I can't access this server.
I tried lot of things such as port transfer, edit of the NAT propreties (of the VM) and edit of the vmnetnnat.conf file as well. I tested about bridge connection but I didn't find the way to make it works with this way. etc
I also did transfer port from my internet box to get the access by IP instead of private network address (192.168.XXX.XXX) but it didn't works too.
If anyone can help, thank !
By default your Workstation configures your VM in either NAT or Host-only or event in Custom network configuration what means your host computer (you Windows 10) is the only endpoint which can access this box without any additional configuration in your router.
I would suggest you the easiest way is to use "Bridge" configuration what you mentioned below by getting (perhaps DCHP) IP schema from your parent router (the one gives your Windows 10). Thus your VM will be available across your "Home network", Once done, check your ICMP (pings) from Windows 10 to your VM, make sure you can see it.
Second point is that your 8001/8002 ports might be closed by firewall (iptables) in your ubuntu / Windows 10. You probably want to check your both firewalls as your traffic is being routes by "Virtual router" of Workstation.
Win7 PC running Rails in an Ubuntu VM via VMWare Player. I'm working on a site and would like to show it to a friend who's outside my network.
I found this blog post, which got me very close: http://blog.fardad.com/2012/06/vmware-player-and-custom-nat-port-map.html
OK, so I have the VM that is using NAT. As I understand it, that means that the VM will appear to have the same IP address as the parent machine to outside traffic.
I went into NAT settings and added port forwarding:
Host Port: 8200 Type: UDP Virtual IP Address: 192.168.198.184:3000
OK so my understanding is that I should now be able to go to 192.168.1.1xx:8200 (the IP of my 'real' PC) and access the webserver running in the VM. But when I go to that address, I don't get anything. I can ping 192.168.198.184 (the VM) from the PC.
What I want to be able to do is go into my router and set up a port that will eventually forward into the VM.
It seems like I'm missing something very small but I don't know what that is. Help, please.
If anyone is curious how to get the Virtual Network Editor:
go to the vmware-directory and run in elevated cmd.exe-box
rundll32.exe vmnetui.dll VMNetUI_ShowStandalone
http://communities.vmware.com/message/2155960#2155960
Find the vmnetnat.conf file, usually located in
C:\ProgramData\VMware\vmnetnat.conf
or
C:\Users\Application Data\VMware\vmnetnat.conf
Edit vmnetnat, add similar line in the [incomingtcp] section
8200=192.168.198.184:3000
Restart VMware NAT Service.
Try using Bridged network option in vmware player instead of NAT. It replicates your physical network.
You can use an http proxy to do that, by doing that you don't need to expose your entire private network, check out this blog post for more information how to access docker containers from external devices
I'm trying to connect an ubuntu 12.04 to my local network + internet, i would like it to be directly reachable from the local network, NAT interface don't do it so i tried setting up a bridge (in the virtualbox GUI). But then i can access any other host on the LAN from the guest, but i can't access internet, the DHCP seems to work fine since my guest OS gets an IP in the correct range and with the correct mask. However i can't even ping the router which connect me to the internet (the same machine as the DHCP server).
here's my configuration:
host machine: linux mint debian edition X86-64
guests: win7 64 and ubuntu server 12.04 x86-64 (both have the same issue)
router-gateway-dhcp: livebox from orange ISP
host network interface: wifi usb dongle with chipset RTL8191SU (which works fine for my host)
I know the bridged mode isn't supported by all wireless adapter, but isn't it weird that i can access local network but not the internet?
maybe the problem comes from the gateway itself?
any advice would be very appreciated
In general, there is no problem in using VirtualBox in bridged mode on a laptop. I use it very often and on different platforms, yet it can be related to your network adapter.
Can you try to debug your network by using tcpdump (if familiar) or wireshark? I once had the problem that the mac address got rejected by the router. Can you check if the router is permissive for unauthorized mac addresses or anything alike?
