Just a shot in the dark but... having played withk VirtualBox a fair bit lately I've noticed that it tends to default to NAT networking rather than bridged. Essentially putting your VM behind another router/firewall.
Have you checked you're using bridged networking?
Devices >> Network >> Network settings.
Under attached to, change to bridged networking.
