Answer 1

Did you set forwarding in machine settings ?

1. To forward ports in VirtualBox, first open a virtual machine’s settings window by selecting the Settings option in the menu.

2. Select the Network pane in the virtual machine’s configuration window, expand the Advanced section, and click the Port Forwarding button. Note that this button is only active if you’re using a NAT network type – you only need to forward ports if you’re using a NAT.

3. Use VirtualBox’s Port Forwarding Rules window to forward ports. You don’t have to specify any IP addresses – those two fields are optional.
