I want to setup a test database on a vm for development purposes but I cannot connect to the server via the network.
I've got Ubuntu 12.04vm installed on 12.04 host in Virtualbox 4.2.4 set to
- Bridged network mode
- Promiscuous Allow All
When I try to ping the virtual guest from any network client I get the expected result.
PING 192.168.1.209 (192.168.1.209) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.1.209: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.427 ms
...
Internet access inside the vm is normal
But when I nmap it I get nothin!

ufw and iptables on VM...
jeremy@jeremy:~$ sudo service ufw stop
[sudo] password for jeremy:

jeremy@jeremy:~$ sudo iptables -L

I have scanned around and have no reason to believe that my router is blocking internal ports.

Answer...
Turns out all of the ports were open to the network. I installed open ssh and confirmed it. Then I edited my db conf to listen to external IP's and all was well.
