VirtualBox Networking – Setup Networking in Ubuntu Guest from Windows Vista Host

networkingvirtualboxwindows

I am trying to access the MYSQL installed inside the Ubuntu Guest (In VirtualBox) from my Windows vista Host. It always says not able to find the given IP in the network.

I have tried ping the ubuntu virtual machine, but it was not working. So i believe root cause for this is, some bridging between Host & Guest is not enabled. Since i am very new to Ubuntu, am not able to troubleshoot this.

My Current settings:

 Virtual box network adapter is attached to NAT

Can someone help me out?

Cheers

Configure virtual machine to use Host only network adapter and enable internet connection sharing on your Vista host. I believe this will solve your problem. If you are not able to access internet on guest then try using windows IP as default gateway in your Ubuntu guest.
