What are the darkcoin.conf IP settings for a tMN in a VirtualBox VM ? (How to forward port 19999?)

WAN Router --> Ubuntu 14.04 host machine running VirtualBox --> Ubuntu Server 14.04.1 guest VM (Bridged network adapter)
Public IP address/192.168.1.1 --> 192.168.1.11 (HOST) --> 192.168.1.2 (GUEST)

What are the correct settings to be used for the darkcoin.conf file for in below configuration options in darkcoin.conf:
externalip= <--- in my setup, is this the public IP address of my WAN router?
masternodeaddr= <--- in my setup, is this the public IP address of my WAN router or is this the local IP address of the test MN (guest VM)?

I tried various options, but the https://test.drk.mn/masternodes.html site however always marks my test MN as 'Closed':
192.168.1.2:19999 Closed (3m48s) Timeout mmxMCT7LwKEUjwURCdQMj2vSkqp2rkr37s[1][2][3] 1000.000000000 1h27m50s 7s Unknown Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Active Unlisted

This means I can send traffic out from the daemon, but I can't receive traffic in, however I disabled all firewalls (router/host/guest) for root cause analysis, to no avail.

I would like to get a hard confirmation on the IP settings to be used for darkcoin.conf, so I can move on...

Thanks,
Nthelight
 
Hmmm externalip should be public ip.
And router should forward incoming port 19999 to internal host, internal host should forward incoming port 19999 to guest 19999.
 
Thanks chaeplin, I'll set my darkcoin.conf to the following settings and will retry.

externalip=x.x.x.202 (=my public IP address retrieved from whatismyipaddress.com)
masternodeaddr=192.168.1.11:19999 (=HOST IP address) (<-> NOT the Guest VM IP address)

If it doesn't work, I can continue investigating my firewall/port forwarding settings and at least be reassured that the darkcoin.conf is configured properly.

Even when I disable the firewall of the WAN router, I still receive the same message.

I've now also tried with the following setting:
externalip=x.x.x.202 (changed)
masternodeaddr=x.x.x.202:19999

I'll continue to investigate my router port forwarding settings...

Suppose the port forwarding on my router is correct..

How do you set up the port forwarding from the host machine to the guest VM ?

VirtualBox \ Network \ Adapter 1
Enable Network Adapter
Attached to Bridged Adapter
Name eth0

Port forwarding button is greyed out...

That might be the issue?

OK, I'm investigating... (https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html)

iptables DNAT will do. check dnat.

Does host and guest has same subnet ?

192.168.1.11 (HOST) --> 192.168.1.2 (GUEST)

Looks like bridged ?


I suggest this.

Run Masternode remore in Host, run cold wallet in guest.
Router forward to Host, no need to forward to cold wallet.

Using NAT (Port Forwarding enabled in VirtualBox):

Port Forwarding Rules in VirtualBox settings (GUI):

Name Protocol Host IP Host Port Guest IP Guest Port
Darkcoin TCP 192.168.1.11 19999 10.0.2.15 19999
SSH TCP 192.168.1.11 22122 10.0.2.15 22122

I updated my .ssh/config to use the Guest IP 10.0.2.15, but unfortunately I'm unable to login to my Guest VM through SSH (connection times out).

When I log in directly to my Guest VM (using VirtualBox) and start the darkcoin daemon I receive the same error:

genusr@drktmn1:~$ ./darkcoind-0.10.12.10 masternode start <MYTESTMNPASSWORD>
inbound port is not open. Please open it and try again. (19999 for testnet and 9999 for mainnet)

Not sure if it works, but I can retrieve the masternode list (test MNs) which also shows my test MN with "10.0.2.15:19999".

Waiting to see if my test MN shows up on : https://test.drk.mn/masternodes.html

Note: I also added the following port forwarding rule to VirtualBox NAT (not sure if this made any difference or if it is required):
Darkcoin UDP 192.168.1.11 19999 10.0.2.15 19999

If you setup bridged networking in virtualbox the Guest OS will appear like a second System to your Router and the guest will get an own IP adresse. So if any you need to set up NAT Portforwarding for your GUEST and not the HOST.
