NAT - port forwarding broken?

[XRolando]

I have an openSUSE 10.2 32bit host and a Windows 2003 guest, using NAT. After trying to forward some ports, nothing seems to be happening. Here is a snippet from my XML file:

<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ftp/Protocol" value="TCP"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ftp/GuestPort" value="3390"/>
<ExtraDataItem name="VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ftp/HostPort" value="3390"/>

As you might be able to tell I'm hosting a small Filezilla FTP server on my windows guest. Unfortunately (even after opening a port in the firewall and telling the server to listen to port 3390) nothing seems to be happening.

A different user/post has suggested the use of bridged networking, so I'm going to state (just in case) that I don't use DHCP, I "only" have 3 static IP's.

Damn it damn it damn it, I hate you Windows Firewall! You're always stabbing me in the back!
