this is my first post here at vbox.org
here is my situation. i have
1, installed win xp verison of virtualbox
2, installed mandriva power pc as a virtualbox guest
3, fully configured ssh and httpd on the guest (default ports)
4, they both can see the internet
5. both win xp and mandriva are 100 %
the sole exception is, i cannot log into geust ssh server
from windows xp desktop.
virtualbox is using NAT
windows runs on a address of 192.168.2.6
the router is on 192.168.2.1
the virtual guest (mandriva) is on 10.0.2.15
the virtual guest (mandriva) gateway is on 10.0.2.2
my internet is cable modem.
i went into the guest virtualbox and i could log into ssh (user and pass)
i then minimize the guest virtualbox and went to windows xp prompt
to try and login into the guest ssh server from there but it failed.
(could not find server)
i tried to login with winscp and i still cannot login to the guest virtualbox server at all, although i know its 100% working from within virtualbox.
i know that the windows and the guest is on 2 different network ip
and im guessing that mandriva is getting to the internet via the class a
ip but i cant figure out how to connect the two network ip via the gateway
to talk to each other so that in the future i could runn httpd or even a mail server.
but for now
what do i need to do in order that mandriva (the guest) can listen and
except ssh requests from the windows xp (the host) or the outside world ?
or do i need to buy a bridging hub device or something of that nature
a friend just called and told me thats what i might need.... is this true?
please help
thanks in advance
