Connecting using TCP/IP from a virtualbox to anoth

问题:

I have 2 different machines running ubuntu on virtual box and i'm trying to run a server on one machine and connect with the client from another machine . However I am not able to connect due to the fact that the IP adress given from the virtual box machine is very strange that is 10.x.x.x . I am managing to run both programs one as ./server and the other ./client localhost 2017 on the same virtual box machine however not on different machines .. I am trying to run the client using ./client 10.x.x.x 2017 and the resulting error is error connecting . I should also add that both machines on virtual box are said to have the same IP address when I checked.. any help please ?

By default VirtualBox configures NAT networking. You need to setup your addaptors in bridge mode and make sure your router can provide both VMs with IP addresses.
