Problem for port forwarding to Solaris guest OS

[kervin]

Hi there! I'm a newbie that just discovered VirtualBox. I've downloaded and installed a Solaris virtual machine on my Windows XP SP3 computer. I've tried to set up portforwarding so that I could telnet and ftp to my Solaris virtual machine, but I'm hitting a blank wall here. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? FYI, all firewalls have been disabled

VBoxManage getextradata "Solaris x86" enumerate
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/KVtelnet/Protocol, Value: TCP
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/KVtelnet/HostPort, Value: 8023
Key: VBoxInternal/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/Config/KVtelnet/GuestPort, Value: 23

When I use netstat -a, the port 8023 isn't on the list....

Thanks in advance

Scan your VBox.log for the CFGM enumeration. Check that the mapping is included. This port will only be listed in the netstat when the VM is running.
