Oracle virtual box acces host and host vpn

Question

I have Oracle virtualbox running on macbook OSX 10.8.2. I have a Windows 8 VM. I would like to accomplish 2 things:

• access from the vm the webserver which is running from my host
• access from the vm to webservers of my company. I can access these from my host by a VPN, can I access those hosts from my vm via the VPN which is running on my host ?

I tried bridged, host-ony adapters but that didn't do the trick so far.

Regards, Marc

Answer 1

Bridge adapter should work. How are you trying to access the VMs ? I suppose the IP will be dynamic each time so try it with host name.
