Networking between two Virtual machines on different hosts

Question

I have openSuse installed as a virtual machine(Oracle Virtual Box) on DeskTop(win 7), and another openSuse installed on as a virtual machine(Oracle Virtual Box) on my Laptop(win 8.1).

Please see the attached image, in which I have captured the various network adapter information.

I want to network these two VMs, how to achieve this.

The following is the additional information. Desktop Host machine(win 7)

Solution

You're going to want to look for "bridged" mod under network configuration in VirtualBox, without that VirtualBox will emulate a small network that nothing can directly communicate with.

Once in bridged mode they should be seen as extra computers to the Router/DHCP server pick up an IP address and you'll be able to communicate with everything on the network segment the host is on.

How about using bridged networking in VMWare and Virtual Box? You can assign IP on both VM at space 192.168.0.0/24
