Connect the Virtual Machines

The next step is to create a network both machines can talk to each other on. Oracle Virtual Box uses a default IP address when you create them. I used ipconfig to double check the IP address.

Next we are going to create a network for both machines. If you go into the Oracle Virtual box and go to tools. There are three tabs: Host-only Networks, NAT networks, and Cloud Networks. You’re going to click on NAT networks and click the create button.

Name your network, (mine is “talktome”) and pick a ipv4 prefix. I used the IP address 192.168.100.0/24

and click apply.

Next, go into your Network settings on the Kali box, and select your NAT network you created. We will do the same thing for Windows.

Restart both Machines after changing the network.

If you go into the terminal on Kali or Windows and type in ifconfig/ipconfig, we will now see the ip address has successfully changed.

The last step to check if the machines are connected is to use the Ping command. If we type in either machine, ping (ip address) and hit enter. We will get a reply.
