From the above we can see that our vm has 2 network interfaces but only one is configured. The first interface is using NAT and has been assigned an IP address. We will need to add the second interface which is using the host-only network.

We are going to set this second interface (host-only) to a specific IP address: (192.168.56.100)


We might as well change the first interface to a static one too.


> sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).


source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto enp0s3
#iface enp0s3 inet dhcp
iface enp0s3 inet dhcp static
        address 10.0.2.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 10.0.2.0
        broadcast 10.0.2.255
        gateway 10.0.2.1
        dns-nameservers 10.0.2.1 8.8.8.8

auto enp0s8
iface enp0s8 inet static
        address 192.168.56.100
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.56.0
        broadcast 192.168.56.255

...

From the VM, confirm that you can resolve DNS by issueing issuing the following command:

> nslookup google.com


We can also setup port forwarding via our NAT network to access our VM using

> ssh -p PORT test@localhost
