Your router is forwarding ports correctly – this is only necessary if you want to access the virtual machine from the Internet. 
(This only applies to NAT mode with port forwarding – the host computer’s firewall doesn’t interfere in bridged networking mode.)
#PORT FORWARD UTILITY JAVSA SOFTWARE#
The firewall software on your host computer isn’t blocking the connections. (You may need to allow the server program in the guest operating system’s firewall.) The firewall software running inside your virtual machine isn’t blocking the connections. Remember that this is only part of the process of making the server software inside a virtual machine reachable. If you’re using VMware Player, you can still use bridged networking mode to make your server accessible. There are methods for installing it yourself by extracting the vmnetcfg.exe file from the VMware Player installer, but I couldn’t locate the vmnetcfg.exe utility in the latest version of VMware Player, VMware Player 5.0 – it may no longer be included in the installer. Unfortunately, this utility is not included with VMware Player. VMware Workstation users can select Edit –> Virtual Network Editor to open it. If you’re using VMware, you’ll need to use the Virtual Network Editor (vmnetcfg) application to do this. Enter 127.0.0.1 in the Host IP box and VirtualBox will only accept traffic originating on your computer-in other words, on the host operating system. Note: While you don’t have to enter any IP details, leaving the Host IP box blank will make VirtualBox listen on 0.0.0.0-in other words, it will accept all traffic from the local network and forward it to your virtual machine. You don’t have to specify any IP addresses – those two fields are optional. Use VirtualBox’s Port Forwarding Rules window to forward ports. Note that this button is only active if you’re using a NAT network type – you only need to forward ports if you’re using a NAT. 
Select the Network pane in the virtual machine’s configuration window, expand the Advanced section, and click the Port Forwarding button. To forward ports in VirtualBox, first open a virtual machine’s settings window by selecting the Settings option in the menu. If you need to set up port forwarding with the VBoxManage command instead of using the graphical interface, you’ll find instructions for doing so in VirtualBox’s manual. Note that only one of these steps is necessary – you don’t have to forward ports if you enabled bridged networking above.Īt one point, you had to use the VBoxManage command to forward ports in VirtualBox, but VirtualBox now contains a simple graphical port-forwarding window. If you prefer to use NAT network mode for some reason, you can also forward ports through the virtual machine’s NAT. Select the Network Adapter virtual hardware device, select the Bridged network connection type, and click OK. First, right-click a powered off virtual machine and select Virtual Machine Settings. The process is similar in VMware applications.
