I have a Ubuntu guest configured with two interfaces, eth0 is using NAT and works fine, I can access the net.
The second interface eth1 is set to host only networking and VirtualBox has created a vboxnet0 virtual adapter on the host.
I've configured vboxnet0 in VirtualBox adapter settings with the following:
ip 192.168.21.20
subnet 255.255.255.0
Once the VM guest is running, ifconfig on OSX has vboxnet0 setup as:
vboxnet0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00
inet 192.168.21.20 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.21.255
In the guest, eth0 is set to use DHCP, I've statically assigned eth1 to 192.168.21.20 (is this a mistake?):
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.21.20
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.21.0
broadcast 192.168.21.255
gateway 192.168.21.1
There is no device on 192.168.21.1 - what should I set my gateway to?
In the guest the routes look like so:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.21.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth1
10.0.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.21.1 0.0.0.0 UG 100 0 0 eth1
Route table on OSX:
$ netstat -nr

I can't SSH from the host to the guest (I used to be able to when the VM was configured with a bridged connection):
$ ssh 192.168.21.20
ssh: connect to host 192.168.21.20 port 22: Connection refused
What have I done wrong here? TIA
