I'm playing around with some web development and I'm doing most of the work on a ubuntu guest os running in virtualbox on windows. The networking modes are really confusing and all I want to do is access the http server running in the guest os from the host. Is there a simple way to do this without setting up port forwarding?

Just configure the guest host to use the bridged networking mode and the guest will be accessible on the network as a regular host.
