Hello,

In a macbook host, I run VirtualBox having a guest ubuntu server, with a NAT network setting.
In the virtual machine application "Parallels", I would get on the host an IP address of the guest, to which I could later set hostnames and access it directly.

However, I couldn't find a way to accomplish this using VirtualBox.
The only solution VirtualBox has for me, is to set port forwarding, and access "localhost" with these ports.

How can I have the desired behavior set up, without having to change to a bridged network settings, and expose my guest computer to the network my host computer is connected to ?

Thanks.
