- If you want to connect to a website, your computer sends a request to the IP address of the web server hosting that website.
- In a VirtualBox setup, a host could be your physical computer, and the IP address would allow communication with virtual machines running on that computer.
If you’re looking at a screenshot in VirtualBox, you might want to find the IP address of the virtual machine you’re working with. That would be the address you use to connect to or communicate with that virtual machine from your host system.
