Port forwarding

Hi,
I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 which is hosting a winxp as a guest. Now, I'm running the server on WindowsXP (guest) which uses port 9000. I configured the Virtualbox as following

Code: Select all

VBoxManage setextradata "xp"  "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/my1/Protocol" TCP
VBoxManage setextradata "xp"  "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/my1/GuestPort" 9000
VBoxManage setextradata "xp"  "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/my1/HostPort" 9001

now, after running the virtual machine and the server, it seems that the host is listening at 9001 but the packets are not forwarded to a server?
what is wrong? ...

Welcome to our forum. You might want to take this opportunity to browse the Forum Posting Guide. This contains some useful tips on how to search for VBox knowledge and how to frame Qs.

What is wrong is that this is a known bug with 2.1.0 and a quick search would have found lots of earlier discussions and documented work arounds. Locking this as a duplicate.
