====== Enable networking between VMs in Virtualbox ======
In //Settings>Network// of the VM set "Attached to: Internal network"

On host add DHCP server:

  VBoxManage dhcpserver add --netname intnet --ip 10.13.13.100 --netmask 255.255.255.0 --lowerip 10.13.13.101 --upperip 10.13.13.254 --enable

To delete the server:

  VBoxManage dhcpserver remove --netname intnet

This only enables communication between the VMs. If a VM needs internet access you should add a new network adapter in //Settings>Network>Adapter 2>Attached to NAT// and then configure the interface in ''/etc/network/interfaces'' e.g.

<code> 
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# NAT
auto enp0s3
iface enp0s3 inet dhcp
# Host only
auto enp0s8
iface enp0s8 inet dhcp
</code>
