If your Virtual Box network is NAT'd you will need to open the ports. For example, suppose you want to ssh into the Virtual machine:
$ VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/HostPort" 2222 $ VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/GuestPort" 22 $ VBoxManage setextradata <guestname> "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/ssh/Protocol" TCP The you can log in via ssh to your Virtual Machine: $ ssh -p 2222 -l <user> <Virtual Machine IP> Regards Andres
