VirtualBox and Firewall

[SKlife83]

Hello,

I have everything up and running. The server is Windows 10 running Virtualbox Debian linux. However, whenever I run the firewall in Windows I can't connect to the VM. I've tried adding all Vbox items to the exception list but no cigar. Sorry if this is in the wrong thread, any help appreciated. Happy Holidays!

Windows Firewall is a pain in the ass. I ended up having to completely reinstall all firewall related services just so I could disable the thing.

I'm no network guy but good luck.

SKlife83 check your /etc/network/interfaces add this lines auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp or set up 2 connections One for host-only and the other for bridged

I take it you are not using the built in Hyper-V? Control pannel ,Programs and Features,turn windows features on or off.

VirtualBox is an Oracle product.

I highly recommend not using a bridged connection. Especially if the server is public. It makes firewall/router port routing a lot simpler.
