Hej JD,
thanks a lot for your comment! As you can see in the description, the vbox uses a Host interface: NIC 1: MAC: 080027C75C05, Attachment: Host Interface, Cable connected: on, Trace: off (file: <NULL>), Type: Am79C973 The host is Debian etch without any paket filter. Connecting to internet through a stand-alone router/firewall, my loved leaf.sourceforge.net. I have already some experiences with this kind of configuration (with vbox 1.4 on kernel 2.6.18) at least the differences are the newer vbox 1.57 and kernel 2.6.23 .... I thought about the internal WinXP Firewall, which is still enabled, but a Windows host is pingable also with enabled filter....
