Networking problem in Virtualbox

Post by jack_40k »

Hi,

I'm a bit of a noob with VB and my dad actually setup everything (would ask him about this problem, but he doesn't want to help so I'm asking here). I have a Windows 7 computer with VB installed running Fedora 7. Recently I updated Virtualbox and now I cannot access the Virtualized Fedora machine from my windows computer via FTP/SCP/etc.. (the Fedora machine hosts a virtualised website which I cannot access through my browser as well). There are just connection errors each time I try to connect to it from Windows.

I was just wondering why this might be and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks,

Jack.

Then what is the IP you're connecting to, the IP of the Guest and the IP of the Host (Host-Only adapter)?
