title: Access webserver on host OS through guest on VirtualBox
body: <p>I have Splunk running on my host OS (Windows 7) which I can access by going to <code>http://localhost:8000</code>. I can also access it by going to <code>http://(my internal IP 192.something):8000</code>. I have Lubuntu 13.04 running on VirtualBox and I want to access Splunk through there. I've been trying out the solution mentioned here (<a href="https://superuser.com/questions/144453/virtualbox-guest-os-accessing-local-server-on-host-os">https://superuser.com/questions/144453/virtualbox-guest-os-accessing-local-server-on-host-os</a>) but I can't access it. Would I need to forward the port 8000?</p>
