Have linux guest and windows guest see port 80

Hi,

I am using Mac OSX 10.5.8
I have a guest for linux that I have running using NAT - so on 10.0.2.15.
I can port forward from that guest to my host and access the servers I need to. I setup 80 > 8080 as a port forward, via VirtualBoxManage and it works well from my host.

I would like to be able to connect to another guest, windows 2000, via NAT and access servers on my linux guest, from the windows guest, in the same way that I do from my Mac Host.

Is that possible? Do I need to somehow port forward from the windows guest - if so, I am not sure how ? I run ipconfig and so I can see the network 10.0.2.15 on my windows guest (I manually set the windows ip to 10.0.2.16 so as to not clash with the linux guest ), but I want to be able to access localhost:8080 through the browser. But when I try that I get "the page cannot be displayed"?

Or maybe NAT is the wrong way to go about this?

Any help, much appreciated.
