I'm trying to set up an Ubuntu server in VirtualBox.

The host is Windows 7 x64.

enter image description here

The guest is Ubuntu 11.10 x64.

I want to make this server accessible from the internet. How can I do it?

Can you already access the Ubuntu server from your host OS? What are your IP settings for both host and guest? Which services do you want to make accessible? – slhck Jan 27 at 18:45

This is largely depending on how you set the networking for your VM. If you have set it to NAT, you will have to configure port forwarding in VirtualBox.
If you have set it to Bridged, you will have to set up routing between the VirtualBox networking adapter and your physical network adapter. But that shouldn't be a VirtualBox-specific issue.

@TuralTeyyuboglu Sadly, I'm having issues with VirtualBox right now myself (won't start). Without being able to verify my assumptions, I can't be of any help. – Oliver Salzburg Jan 27 at 19:49
