How can two VitualBox have the same IP

I cloned my VitualBox which is running Win-XP. My orignal VBOX and the cloned one both are running on the same IPAdr. This is the strangest thing i have ever seen. How is this possible.

How can the network assign the same IPAdr to both VBOX?

I have cloned before but didn't have this issue... Can it be something to do with macAdr?

Solution

  • You might be using NAT network mode. Check it or use the bridged mode if you want to have them separately.

    In it's not the case, please provide more information, so we can help you!

    UPDATE: it's bridged mode, so the problem is elsewhere. With a screenshot of the network configuration screen would be easier to find some reasons...
