Hi,

I have windows 7 as host machine and have installed solaris 11 in virtual box as guest.I have followed the guide to establish bridge networking between hosts and guest machine.The steps are as follows:
1. changed settings to bridge in network option
2. rebooted the guest

Now when i execute ping which ip of HOSTS, it show [ip] is alive.
But when i try to do TELNET or SSH using the ip of the hosts machine it says connection refused.

Please let me know if there are any configuration steps missed or need to do in hosts in order to establish bridge connection successfully....!

Thanks,
Sourav

This means the OS doesn't have the port open, or that the firewall is blocking it.

But when i checked in network and sharing center in windows which is my host machine, there firewall is OFF.
Please suggest.

What about the guest machine? And is there actually a SSH or a Telnet server running?

Thanks for your reply. Actually in guest virtual machine i.e Solaris 11, I checked the ssh services using command "svcs ssh". It showed state online which i think meant enabled !!
Please let me know if you have any suggestion to establish a connection.

Well I am afraid this is not part of Virtualbox. You cleary are able to connect to the machine, but the machine is refusing the connection. So Virtualbox did its part here.
More troubleshooting is out of scope I am afraid, but I'll repeat what I said : the error is telling you that the machine refused the connection, so either nobody is listening on the port, or a firewall is set to actively reject the connection.
