"Port Mode" description
Posted: 2. Oct 2015, 18:37
Hello Experts,
Can someone suggest or provide some reference, on what is the fundamental difference between selecting "TCP" or "Host Pipe" for Port Mode settings. My VirtualBox compiled, run locally on Linux host. Virtual Box 5.0.2.
I am basically trying to get guest VM talk over the network to a local windows machine. Request does seem to come through but VM response back on that TCP port seems to be the problem.
I assigned a TCP port number in VBox settings, Serial Ports -> Path/Address = 1500. Even though I don't see response coming back from the VM on either Port Mode's , I do sense some difference between Port Mode "TCP" vs "Host Pipe"
Can someone suggest what would be appropriate settings for my use case ?
Thanks.
