Can't SSH to Ubuntu guest

[keith73]

I have a Windows 7 host and Ubuntu Server 12 guest and everything in the guest works fine on one computer but not on another.
I exported the guest from laptop #1 and then imported it on laptop #2. Both laptops are Win7 64-bit.
On laptop #1 everything runs fine and I can access the web server in a browser and ssh into the guest from the host.
On laptop #2 it runs but I can't ssh to the guest or access the web server.
Do I need to change the advanced settings in the Adapter?
Is this a problem with DHCP?
Network configs tend to baffle me a bit.

Relevant stats:
Host: Windows7 64bit
Virtualbox 4.2.6
My home network is Verizon Fios accessing via Wireless from the laptop.

Guest: Ubuntu Server 12.04
Network: Host-only Adapter
sshd is running

Ok, switching to Bridged Adapter worked for SSH. I thought bridged wasn't working because I can't access the web server on the vbox machine. Turns out it might be Verizon Fios blocking the port. I'm trying to mess with port forwarding on the router and still not working.

All good now. there was some PEBKAC on my part. thanks for listening, I just needed to think out loud I guess.

Hi, I had similar problem with NAT and I found simple solution. In VirtualBox settings > Network > Port Forwarding I added new rule SSH TCP (empty IP) 2222 10.0.2.15 22. Immediately remote SSH connection to localhost:2222 works.
