I'm having trouble accessing port 5000 on a VirtualBox VM. I have a Windows 7 Host and Ubuntu 12 server guest.
For the Network, I have Adapter 1 setup as Host Only and Adapter 2 as NAT. The 2 adapters was the only solution I could find that allowed me to ssh into the server and to use it as a web server that I can hit domains in a browser. (You're probably asking why I didn't use Bridged. Me too, it's worked for me on other machines, but for some reason won't work on this network but that's a story for another time. )

So I'm trying to run a custom python app that is attempting to communicate via port 5000. When I run that app it tells me:
2014-01-07 11:18:57,521 INFO [werkzeug] * Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/

I setup Windows firewall to allow VirtualBox access through any ports.

I tried setting up port forwarding on the NAT adapter trying different values for guest/host ip and still can't access port 5000 on guest.
I'm probably missing something obvious. more info below.

I've also looked through some forum posts here and tried to follow along and do what was suggested, but still no dice.

NAT port forward details:

Code: Select all

Protocol: TCP
Host IP: 127.0.0.1 ( tried swapping with guest, no luck )
Host Port: 5000
Guest IP: 192.168.56.101
Guest Port: 5000

On the guest, I ran ifconfig and got the guest IP as 192.168.56.101.

on the host, I run ipconfig on command line and get this:

turns out port forwarding wasn't really the issue for me. I had to configure my app to run on 0.0.0.0:5000 instead of 127.0.0.1:5000
