hi,
how do i would be able to connect to linux guest via ssh client that is using NAT virtual interface? This could be achieved easily without any configuration on vmware player but i'm not sure about vbox.

i'm using vbox 4.0.4 on debian squeeze

Chapter 6.3.1 Configuring port forwarding with NAT in your VirtualBox users manual.

so i tried

Code: Select all

$ VBoxManage modifyvm "centos5-64bit iredmail" --natpf1 "guestssh,tcp,127.0.0.1,2222,,22"
but maybe i did it wrongly

Code: Select all

$ ssh -p 2222 root@127.0.0.1
ssh: connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 2222: Connection refused

Have you set up the guest to accept ssh connections?
