port forwarding udp changes to tcp

[rrrrick]

Hi All,

I'm using virtualbox 4.3.15 on Windows 2008 Server. I want to port-forward UDP traffic on port 1691 to my Linux VM at 10.0.88.11:1691.

I enter:

vboxmanage natnetwork modify -t NCeMonNet -p "se1691:udp:[][10.0.88.11]:1691

but the display shows tcp instead of udp and the port shows LISTENING for TCP.

Can anyone help me to understand how to establish port forwarding for UDP?

That's actually a bug which will be fixed in the next maintenance release. The string was wrongly parsed.

Thanks, Frank. Any idea when that comes out?
