Win7 to Oracle 6.3 & OraDB

[skimmer333]

Hi All,
I have VBox 4.3.10 installed on a Win7 64bit machine and have an Oracle 6.3 64bit VM.
I have set the Network as NAT.
The VM can access the internet with no problems.
I have an Oracle Database installed, but I am unable to access via the host.

ifconfig -a
eth7      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 08:00:27:F6:EB:E9  
          inet addr:10.0.2.15  Bcast:10.0.2.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fef6:ebe9/64 Scope:Link

route -n

0.0.0.0         10.0.2.2        0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 eth7
10.0.2.0        0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     1      0        0 eth7

Whenever I try to connect to the database in SQLDeveloper by using IP 10.0.2.15 I get an error stating the Network Adapter could not establish the connection.
I can access the database in the VM (with SQLDeveloper installed in the VM) using the exact same connection details.
Is there something I need to change in the network settings?

Cheers,
Skimmer

See the Port Forwarding section into the Chapter 6.3 of the User Manual.

Thanks noteirak.
Setup port forwarding to the VM, but unfortunately that didn't work.
I ran a ping and tracert to the VM and both failed. So looks like it's a network issue here at the work site I'm on.

Oh wells. All good.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers,
Skimmer.

If you explain what you did exactly, like the exact commands you ran to test and the results you got, I could help you further.

Which ports did you configure for forwarding?
Ping and tracert "tests" don't show anything useable with NAT.
