@rtxn I'm no expert in networking with VirtualBox, but did you already had a look into the manual?

I’ll give it a try tomorrow, thanks.
Although I’d still prefer to know why the VMs won’t talk over simple Ethernet.

@rtxn Maybe you find the reason in the chapter for Bridged Networking.
https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#network_bridged
```
With bridged networking, Oracle VM VirtualBox uses a device driver on your host system that filters data from your physical network adapter. This driver is therefore called a net filter driver. This enables Oracle VM VirtualBox to intercept data from the physical network and inject data into it, effectively creating a new network interface in software.
