By default in this static configuration the gateway will be assigned the address 192.168.15.1 (the address following the interface address) Here, "natnet1" is the name of the internal network to be used and "192.168.15.0/24" is the network address and mask of the NAT service interface. What I was referring to was the information you quoted about creating a NAT network.
I really don't know why you are making such heavy weather of this. What I mean is the part about "unless you changed it to something else".Īssuming that we are talking about an adapter that is configured for "NAT Network", *CAN* you change the gateway IP? Isn't the IP of the gateway already determined by VBox's "virtual" NAT Network router (or whatever that is)? Or is there a way that we can configure that virtual router? I couldn't find anywhere in the preferences=>network configuration to set the gateway IP of a NAT Network. What you said in your last paragraph is what I'm puzzled about. 1 unless you changed it to something else. As the message you quoted says, it will be. If you use static addresses make sure that the gateway address you give each client is in fact the default gateway.
If you use an 8-bit mask (255.0.0.0) then only the first octet "10." is the network address and the remaining three octets are the interface address within the subnet. The first three octets "" make up the network address if you use a 24-bit network mask (255.255.255.0) and the last octet is the interface address within the subnet.

I'd always interpreted that it only meant that only the host could communicate with the guest adapter (or, putting it another way, that no other external machine could communicate with the host-only adapter).
I didn't realize that when Host-only was selected that was only intended for Host TO Guest communication. Host-only network, thanks for the clarification. So, for NAT Networking, the Gateway IP is always the ".1" IP address for that subnet? By default in this static configuration the gateway will be assigned the address 192.168.15.1 (the address following the interface address),Īnd in particular where it says "following the interface address", when they say "the interface address", do they mean the "192.168.15", so, by "following", they mean to tack on the ".1" to the "192.168.15" to get the 192.168.15.1?
