You need to forward the ports that you want to connect on. See here:

how bizarre.

setting the adapter to bridged mode is far easier.

now the host/guest can talk to each other as if they were on a real network. just remember the guest needs to be configured with ip details in the same range as the host. if you have a router with dhcp enabled, you don't need to do a thing. the guest will pick this up.

Bridged connection didn't work, the guest couldn't get a network connection, and the router has DHCP enabled

I'm running version 3.0.4r50677 yeah that's exactly what my config screen looked like when I tried the bridged networking thingy, though obviously my name had my nic rather than yours.
