ok ppl keep asking me why they cant get the vbox live.
let me put it in basics.
theres your ROUTER... then theres your COMPUTER.... thats 1 link..
you need to open those ports on the computer to the router...
NOW with Vbox it goes this way.....
Router -> Computer -> Vbox.. your vbox runs through your computer.
SO you need to open the ports on the COMPUTER AND THE VBOX.
worse case scenario you DMZ your PC... basicly makes you attackable for hacking your stuff and doing whatever to your PC. but your VBOX is secure. (so delete your porn and your gf's pics ROFL)
think of your COMPUTER (PC) as a router as well. unless you got some spiffy router system (not sure if this type exists)_you need to add the ports from your COMPUTER.... AND YOUR VBOX. this some routers will allow. might give you an error saying your router has already added this permission to another PC... then your outta luck unless you DMZ your PC
although you can DMZ your VBOX and add the ports to your PC making it secure as your PC will only allow those ports to send information
if your VBOX has the ports open... THE PC its self DOES NOT... causing a BLOCK...
