Hi,

Build: Downloads › betas › 2022 › 10-26-2022-r50671
Model: VirtualBox VM (512RAM, 2CoreCPU)

I installed DD-WRT in one of my VirtualBox VMs. I have a global host-only network set up. The VM has two network adapters:
1. Host-only: for host-guest networking, the IP has been set to static and within the subnet with my host.
2. NAT: Internet

I am able to ping the guest from my host Windows CMD, and the other way around. So I guess the connection is already there. I imagine I should be able to open my Chrome on my host, and access the DD-WRT web GUI through the same IP but I can't, neither with https:// nor http://. Chrome is telling me that the IP has rejected my connection.

Anyone had similar issue?

Thanks

It could be that chrome always defaults to https, try another browser with http:// and/or use incognito to exclude add-ons

I was excited for a moment because for once it prompted me to enter username/password after I switched to Edge and enforced http://. After which I was again shut out with the same message, and it never asks me for access again...

Something with the Firewall perhaps? I was running this on my company PC which is under a very high-security policy. I will head home and try again.

Thanks anyway! Smile

If you enter the password incorrectly several times, the IP will be blocked for several minutes.

Are you pinging the WAN or LAN side of the network?

Then are you browsing to the WAN or LAN side of the router?

Be careful of the settings because you may be trying to get to the WAN side...

Also check the routes on the windows machine to ensure that you are connected.

I think you may want to try bridged interface on the VM.
