windows 7 and NAT

[mrkk]

windows 7 enterprise

virtualbox 4.2.10 with centos 6.4

Jdeveloper IDE on windows is trying to communicate to weblogic soa suite on the virtualbox

I am using NAT and port forwarding on 7001

I can access it fine from windows on IE/chrome

but at some point weblogic tells jdeveloper connection manager to use h ttp://10.0.2.15:7001
and windows doesnt resolve it

so basically

h ttp://localhost:7001 works
and h ttp://10.0.2.15:7001 does not

pointers?

The issue is in your program I am afraid - it reports its internal IP and does not handle NATing, or the client should rewrite the IP address given by the server.
But this is not a Virtualbox problem at all, it is purely an issue you would have with any server that is not NAT aware.
Since the 10.0.2.15 is puretly into the NAT part and actually doesn't exist at all for the host, it simply cannot reach it and will never be able to.

You would typically see this issue with FTP protocol, where you require the use of active or passive, depending on who's behing a NAT - being the client usually so the server must handle the connection.

Sounds like you should use Host-only networking instead of NAT. That way, the guest picks up its own dedicated IP address which is visible to both the guest and the host. Then you just http://192.168.56.101:7001 (or whatever IP the host picks up).
