List the available interface and identify the interface for which you have configured NAT as Network Mode in the Settings # ip aġ: lo: mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 But in VMware Workstation Player you can directly connect to your virtual machine using NAT IP Address. You cannot run a server this way unless you set up port forwarding. In Oracle VirtualBox NAT is much like a private network behind a router, the virtual machine is invisible and unreachable from the outside internet.

There is a difference how NAT works in VirtualBox and VMware.
