here is my situation. i have
1, installed win xp verison of virtualbox
2, installed mandriva power pc as a virtualbox guest
3, fully configured ssh and httpd on the guest (default ports)
4, they both can see the internet
5. both win xp and mandriva are 100 %
the sole exception is, i cannot log into mandriva guest ssh server
from windows xp desktop.
6, i have 1 network card
virtualbox is using NAT
windows runs on a address of 192.168.2.6
the router is on 192.168.2.1
the virtual guest (mandriva) is on 10.0.2.15
the virtual guest (mandriva) gateway is on 10.0.2.2
my internet is cable modem.
i went into the guest virtualbox and i could log into ssh (user and pass)
i then minimize the guest virtualbox and went to windows xp prompt
to try and login into the guest ssh server from there but it failed.
(could not find server)
i tried to login with winscp and i still cannot login to the guest virtualbox
server at all, although i know its 100% working from within mandriva
virtualbox.
i know that the windows and the guest is on 2 different network ip's but
not on two cards and this is why im having difficulties in figuring out how
to connect the two ip's via the gateway to talk to each other.
i have read up on bridging but most of it is about bridging two network
cards togather not two ip's on 1 net card.
i have also read the virtualbox pdf manual and it can be done but as luck
would have it the manual is not to informative and gives no clear example(s)
at best its cyptic on the subject of configuring the network card.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
what do i need to do in order that mandriva (the guest) can listen and
except ssh requests from the windows xp (the host) or the outside world ?
please help
thanks in advance

edit *** virtualbox does not create an emulated network card in windows network connections ****
it appears that all packet actions are done within the software's engine
