Ping between two virtual machines
Hello,

I installed two virtual machines ubuntu10 on VM VirtualBox .

Please, what are the steps to make a ping from one of these two machines on the other (the configurations )?

Thank you.

You need to answer the following first really:-
  1. Have you defined them with network access?
  2. Are they on the same subnet or do they have suitable routing between them?
  3. What else have you tried?
If you have, then try the ping command.




I hope that this helps

Yes, it's possible, but you have to setup networking correctly. By not giving us any specifics, it looks like you asked for help without trying to do it yourself first.

First thing to do is to test the connection, try using ping. If it does not work, what is the error message for us to be able find a better solution for that. Also verify if you are having a firewall since most of the case, firewall prevents you from doing so.

Indead of setting up the VMs to use NAT (the default on VirtualBox), set them up to up a private network.
