Windows Setting up the remote worker on VirtualBox VM

So has anyone been able to setup the remote worker on a VirtualBox VM running Windows 10? There must be some setting that I'm missing because I have been able to set it up using a Windows 10 installation in Parallels.

I'm not that experienced with Windows anymore, what setting on my network or in Windows that may be preventing this from working.

I have the remote worker installed in Windows, I have gotten it's IP, I enter it into GMS2 on MacOS and every time it says that there was a problem connecting to the worker.

Any help would be really appreciated.

I think the best way to ensure connectivity between your Mac and Windows guest is to set it to Bridged networking.

  • On Virtual Box set to Bridged
  • Ensure it gets a DHCP address similar to your Mac host.
  • ie if your Mac is 192.168.1.100 your Windows Guest should be similar 192.168.1.107
  • Ensure your Windows firewall is turned off
  • Before attempting to set up your remote worker ensure you can ping the Windows guest.
