While selecting the added adapter, change ‘Network connection’ to Custom, select ‘VMnet0’ and click OK.

Right-click your VM and select Settings > Add > Network Adapter > Finish.

Select ‘VMnet1’ and change the ‘Subnet IP’ to the subnet address that you obtained from Step 3 and click OK (both VirtualBox and VMWare Workstation Player virtual machines will be part of this subnet).Select ‘VMnet0’ and set ‘Bridged to’ to ‘VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter’.Make sure that you have Virtual Network Editor (vmnetcfg.exe) – follow this guide on how to get it.Navigate to File > Host Network Manager, and make note of the highlighted IP addressĬonfiguring VMware Workstation Player Network Settings.

Right-click your VM and select Settings > Network then select an unused adapter and set the network adaptor to ‘Host-only Adapter’ and click OK.The below steps will show you how this can be done. However, with some configuration, one can set up a network between VMware Workstation Player and VirtualBox virtual machines so that the virtual machines can communicate with one other. In my case, most of my virtual machines have been set up in VirtualBox, whereas my Kali Linux virtual machine has been set up in VMware Workstation Player, which I used while preparing for the OSCP certification as Offensive Security only support the Kali Linux VMware image. This would allow you, for example, to run Kali Linux (running on VMware) against a vulnerable machine such as DVWA (running on VirtualBox). You may have faced a situation where you have virtual machines that have been set up in both VMware Workstation Player and VirtualBox (on the same computer) and would want them to communicate with one another.
