Hi,

My end goal is to deploy a Linux VM on my machine and allow it to be accessed from:
1. My own PC.
2. Other computers on the network.
3. Computers not on my network via the internet.

So far, I've accomplished the #1 part. I've used NAT with ports forwarded as follows:
- 8888 -> 8080 (for Tomcat WebServer)
- 2222 -> 22 (for WinSCP)
- 3333 -> 3306 (for remote connection to MySQL)

My internet network is as follows:
1. My PC
2. My ISP's WiFi router
3. DSL line to the ISP

My router's IP is 192.168.1.1 and my PC's IP is dynamic 192.168.1.5 or something. On my host PC I can access the guest machine's Tomcat via "localhost:8888". But I can't access it via "192.168.1.5:8888", neither can anyone else on the same network. How can I circumvent this issue to allow anyone on my network to access my Linux VM? Furthermore, how can I allow the VM to be accessible via the internet?

Use Bridged for the VM network mode in the VM config. Then, to access the VM from Internet, do the same as you would do for a physical computer.
