When a VirtualBox VM's adapter is set to "Internal Network", can the VM access the host's external network?


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 toInternal Network

Does the VM have access to the external network? Or do I need another adapter type to make the vm act as some kind of gateway?

Dennis Johnson

The internal network can only access VMs on the same host.

"Internal networking is similar to bridged networking in that VMs can communicate directly with the outside world. However, the "outside world" is limited to other VMs on the same host connected to the same internal network."
