Can the VM access the host computer when the VirtualBox VM's adapter is set to NAT?


leeand00

In the virtual machine network settings:

  1. Right click on settings,
  2. Then in the Settings dialog that appears, select Networkfrom the sidebar
  3. then click on any Adapter Ntab,
  4. If I set the Attached to:dropdown toNAT

Does the VM have access to the host? Does it get a specific IP through NAT?

It depends on the access you specify and what's configured for it.

Using NAT is like putting a VM in its own network and putting a router in between.

This is similar to isolating your computer from those on the Internet. Any computer on the internet that wants to access your PC needs to have its ports open. Through VirtualBox's NAT interface, you can configure ports that can access the virtual machine from the outside as well.

More information can be found if you press the help button in the lower right corner, and in the search type NAT.
