VirtualBox host IP address and hostname

Posted . Visible to the public.

When you are using NAT Show archive.org snapshot in your virtual machine (which you should), the host's IP address is:

10.0.2.2

You'll need it to access shared folders or your host's web server when testing pages in IE.

Fun fact: You could also use vbox.srv -- that's the corresponding hostname.
