| Jun 15, 2020 at 19:27 | comment | added | Zina | regarding your update, tick "Configure Adapter Manually", give the Network for example a /24 subnet e.g. 192.168.56.1/24, and the DHCP you could set: Server IP 192.168.56.100/24, and lower IP 192.168.56.101 Upper IP 192.168.56.254 and with /24 I mean 255.255.255.0 | |

I don't mind if VM-2-VM is achieved through the same adapter, though my approach thus far has been to add a second one. Thank you for the steer to try adding a second NAT device plus a VB DHCP server - I will give that a go. | |

For VM-2-VM connections you should set up a NATted network with DHCP server in VirtualBox and add a second adapter on your VMs connected to that network. Depending on your OS you might need to configure it additionally - see here. That should give you a good start.... | |
