winxp host to mandriva guest connectivity

Guest linuxfingers

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

The only way to enable a server running on a vbox guest to accept external connections is to set up bridged networking. (The bridge is between two network cards - the real one on the host and the virtual one on the guest.)

 

The vbox manual includes a section on bridged networking. You may also find additional information in some of the other threads in this forum.
