Public bug reported:
For many versions, up to 12.10, Virtual box running Windows XP had no
problems connecting to both a mySQL server sitting on the Linux server,
as well as connecting to the Internet via NAT. Since the upgrade to
12.10 the Internet is no longer available via NAT. There is a work
around to use Bridged Adapter but this doesn't work with the database.
The basic problem needs to be fixed so that NAT works inside Virtual box
as it did in the past.
On the main Linux machine I reach the mySQL database via
//localhost:3306. Inside the Virtual box I use //10.0.2.2:3306. If I use
NAT, this works perfectly well. However with NAT there is no Internet
access. On the other hand with BridgedAdapter there is Internet but no
database connection via //10.0.2.2:3306.
The only work around is to switch back and forth via Devices->Network
Adapters->Attached to: (either NAT or Bridged Adapter). I can switch to
work with the Internet or with mySQL but not both. If anyone could fix
this bug it would be much appreciated. Likewise if there were another
address to replace //10.0.2.2:3306 until the bug is fixed, it would
also make my life much easier.
