  • Bodo is correct; it makes it easier for answerers (and future readers) to compare, troubleshoot, and answer your question if it has text as text. Thank you! Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 15:59
  • @Bodo I know how to do that but it still looks like crap @JeffSchaller I would get that if it was code but you aren't going to be able to recreate my ip a command locally Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 18:50

In VirtualBox you can't access a guest directly from the host when using a NAT'ed network interface.

A common solution for this, is to use bridged mode or create a second host only interface for host to guest communication.

However, it seems that setting up port forwarding should be possible if you require a NAT'ed interface, as you have mentioned in the comments, but it seems that you might have an error in the forwarding rule.

The ip command show the guest ip to be: 10.0.2.15 But in the forwarding rule you used: 10.2.0.15 as ip address.

  • Thanks but that seems to contradict posts like unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12885/…. Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 14:10

    @Jackie, I agree if the accepted answer there is correct? I have never been able to make it work. I would agree with: unix.stackexchange.com/a/12886/311645 But I might be wrong. Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 14:21
  • thanks but even that answer says "You may configure special port forwarding rules to reach the boxes" (talks about how you cant access the whole network but I don't need that). So I think there is a way to do it so technically your answer is wrong (at least given my question) the question is if it is wrong, how do I get it to work. Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 14:24
  • Just realized I posted the wrong link initially unix.stackexchange.com/questions/145997/… Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 15:10
  • From that post it sure seems to be possible. It seems that your forwarding rule might be wrong. I have updated my answer. Commented Sep 15, 2020 at 18:26
