If the guest can find or guess the host's IP address, it can (try and) connect to services on the host using that IP address. A firewall on the host could block or allow those connections as appropriate. If the guest is configured with a VirtualBox NAT virtual network adapter, then the incoming connection appears to come from localhost (127.0.0.1), which may make it difficult to for the host firewall to block. If the guest is configured with a VirtualBox Bridged virtual network adapter, then the incoming connection appears to come from the guest VMs assigned IP, and firewall rules would be the same as if the guest VM was a separate PC on your network. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
