This kind of remote deployment and access of a desktop computer experience has moved into other tools tool ranging from consumer end with VirtualBox and VNC, to much higher end with Windows VM Deployment in Hyper-V and VMware/Vsphere. The technology and logic behind the creation of a virtual machine (VM) is not new and in fact, things like ‘Remote Desktop’ in the Windows Programs list of Windows 10, 8, 7 and even XP has always been present. Remote working and ‘online desktop’ access is something that has grown massively relevant in 2020 and only promises to get even bigger. This option does not have the disadvantage of dependency on external router and firewall.How to Turn your Physical Computer into a Virtual Machine for Remote Access over the Internet After this, the 2 VMs will be able to talk to each other using the host-only network. On the VM with VMWare player, create a networking interface and map it to the custom VMNetx interface that was bridged to the Virtualbox adapter. I have captured details of “vmnetcfg” in my VMWare player blog. Open “vmnetcfg” to map 1 of the VMWare adapters to bridged host-only adapter that was created with Virtualbox. The host-only adapter can be configured with/without dhcp. Create a host-only adapter on Virtualbox and create a networking interface on the VM and map it to the host-only adapter created. I feel that there is some filtering enforced either by Virtualbox or VMWare and I am not able to find the reason… I was able to get Virtual box VMs using bridged adapters to talk to each other, same with VMWare player. Even after clearing the firewall rules on the router, I was not able to get Virtualbox VM talk to VMWare player VM with this approach. It is possible that the router blocks this external communication. In this option, the connection between the 2 hosts is established through external router. Create a networking interface with bridged adapter on VMWare player and map it to the same physical adapter as Virtualbox. Create a networking interface with bridged adapter on Virtualbox and map it to 1 of the physical adapters. I found the procedure mentioned in this link to be very useful. I recently had a need to connect VMs running on Virtualbox and VMWare player. I had written blogs earlier on using Virtualbox and VMWare Player.
