Vagrant set network name in public network

[Rajiv Jain]

Hi

I have been using Vagrant for some time and I wanted to find out whether it is possible to set the network name when specifying public network.

I am trying to join the Vagrant guest to the network such that when I log in using Windows, the guest machine name is displayed in the Network section.

Vagrant is hosted on my MacBook Air and I am trying to join the Vagrant guest machine to home network for it to be displayed to the Network section of Windows. I have successfully created a bridge network over wifi. I can however ping over the network to the Vagrant guest and have created a Vagrant guest (DNS Server) and that works perfectly well over the network. All I need to do is somehow display the Vagrant guest as a computer in the Network section in Windows.

Thanks.

Hello,

If the guest is linux, you need to look into how linux will broadcast
himself into the windows network.

That usually is done with Samba, and configuration on how to make
himself known in the workgroup.

I am not aware of any plugin that will setup that for you, so I think
you should look into how to do it manually first (on the linux vm) and
then how to put that in a script.
