Port Forward 5500 to Windows XP Guest

Post by OZFive »

Hello, I see that port forwarding is available in VB and was disappointed to learn that it was terminal based rather than somewhere in the GUI. Terminals are not my strong suit but neither am I afraid of them.

I was wondering if someone could help me out forward my OSX Port of 5500 to my Guest XP.


Thanks

Actually you should do it exactly as written in the manual. Just replace the host port 2222 in the example with 5500. We will add GUI support in a later release.
