ubuntu-server in virtualbox

[bterminalx]

I'm not new at this, but I hate redownloading VMWARE-SERVER so I got VirtualBox. I'm use to VirtualBox on Mac and windows, but on linux, I just draw a blank because I just back INTO it. Ubuntu is my main os, etc..


Okay here's the thing, I want to run a local, yet public virtual server (ubuntu server) in virtualbox. I am using Bridge for the network connected to my wlan0 device. I can login locally perfectly. Now, I'm setting up ZNC + ZNC-WebAdmin via the repository, it's all setup, running, however, I cannot connect to it.

http://192.168.1.3:8088/ (8088 is the port I use)


Here's the information extracted from "ifconfig"

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:53:21:66
inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I'm really not sure what to do at this point, any help would be apreciated on this subject. :)

Are you using DSL Modem? Is it on NAT? Have you enabled Port forwarding on modem for port 8080 ?

I am using wireless (It's good enough for me)

wlan0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:6c:69:61:a0
inet addr:192.168.1.5 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

I don't need to port forward 8088 if I'm accessing it locally, right?

This line confuses me actually

"I want to run a local, yet public virtual server (ubuntu server) in virtualbox. I am using Bridge for the network connected to my wlan0 device. I can login locally perfectly."

If possible elaborate on this.

Are you able to ping 192.168.1.3 ?

[bterminalx]

Yeah, not only that, some things actually work right. Apache will load, and I can SSH (Locally). However, Webmin and ZNC Webadmin give me this firefox message

Uhm. My host is Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop Edition. The virtual server can access the web and such, but some things aren't working when it comes to ports and forwarding.

try this from Host terminal

curl http://192.168.1.3:8088

and post the output here
