I have a virtualbox VM running ubuntu.
The Ubuntu guest is running a web server which listens on port 3000 (http://127.0.0.1:3000)
The host machine is windows vista.
I have configured port forwarding using VBoxManage.
If I query the config using VboxManage getextradata "MyMachine", I get
Key: GUI/AutoresizeGuest, Value: on
Key: GUI/Fullscreen, Value: off Key:
GUI/LastCloseAction, Value: shutdown
Key: GUI/LastWindowPostion, Value:

Value: 3000 Key:
VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guesthttp/Protocol,
Value: TCP
This looks like it should work...
However when I try to access the web server from the host machine (windows box) I dont get a response.
I ran a netstat on the windows box and nothing appears to be listening on port 3000 which explains why forwrding isnt working.
Note that I have already tested with my firewall switched off...
The version of VirtualBox I am using is 3.1.4
Any ideas?
