And you shouldn't need to open any ports, unless you have a router between you and the rest of the internet. Which I do, by the way, but no port opening was needed.
Well, I do have a router, and it also has the latest OpenWRT (linux) OS, and has a pretty hefty firewall, which is why I asked about the ports. And I'm running VirtualBox on linux box (the latest Debian) and XP in that.
