Port Forward; Host: Win Server 2008 Guest: XP SP3

I got a Windows Server 2008 Web edition as Host, and i install VirtualBox, with a Windows XP SP3 as Guest, i have it in a dedicated host.
I need to forward this ports 80, 44405 and 55901, from the host to the Guest, so when i type from any PC, the IP of the Host, i can reach the Apache I installed in the Guest OS.

Hope you understand me.

Thanks

Why doesn't anyone bother to read the manual or search before posting? You want a bridged network (assuming the you are running 2.2; it was previously called Host Interface).

I tryed to do that but when i try, i blocked the access to my dedi server. I cant do that in a Dedicated Server, that is not permited cause that is a security risk for their network.

Then NAT is the only way left, port forwarding is also handled in the Manual and the FAQ's.
