How to Oracle VMBox VMs access from your local network:

Why:
VM created in Oracle VMBox can not be accessed from your local network. It is because the virtual machine created under VM will have their own sub netmask something like 10.2.0.x

Your home computer network will be in different network segments then you will not be able to access directly from your computer using ssh/telnet. In order to access that you can add VM box machine also into your network

How:
To add the VMBox machine into your local network. You should add an another virtual network adapter in VM and bridge it to your home computer network

2. Right click on VM
3. Select Settings.
4. choose Network
