Using virtualbox I am running a server on Linux-Mint(guest) and client machine is windows-8 (host).
When I try to connect to the server (which looks like http://169.254.158.126:8080) from windows-8, nothing happens. Chrome shows this:
So to solve this I have been looking through the Internet and I did these:
I have 2 network adapters in VirtualBox: NAT(10.0.2.15) and 'VirtualBox Host-Only Ethernet Adapter'(169.254.158.126).
firewall is off in both windows and linux-mint.
anti-virus is off in windows.
I was not able to ping so I did some configuration as instructed in some web-pages and now I am able to ping successfully to 169.254.158.126(linux-mint) in windows. And even when the virtual machine is off, the ping shows success. Should I be worried about it?
I am a college student and I stay in hostel, so I use LAN to access Internet and my local-IP is 172.30.105.121. When I ping to 172.30.105.121 in linux-mint, it again shows success.
In many web-pages I have seen '10.1.x.x' in place of '169.x.x.x'. Is this the problem? I have tried many a times, but I always get 192.x.x.x or 169.x.x.x.
And my network settings show this (No Internet access for IPv4):
Is that the problem? If yes, then how ping works fine? Please help. I have already wasted a lot of time and I need it badly.

Can you visit a website on Mint – Virusboy – 2014-11-22T16:15:22.527
@Virusboy yes I can visit any website since it depends only on NAT adapter. – gmaster – 2014-11-22T17:38:32.423
You seen to use a proxy on your host. Is it a transparent proxy or a manually configured one? – user2313067 – 2014-11-22T18:21:19.920
@user2313067 Its manually configured. – gmaster – 2014-11-22T18:47:13.467
Have you tried adding an exception for your site so it doesn't go through the proxy? – user2313067 – 2014-11-22T18:48:54.977
yeah I use 'direct connection' when I run that site. I guess I am missing on guest-side. I'll see to it. Thank you btw. – gmaster – 2014-11-22T19:13:40.357
