Zack,
I've found the way to do it is to mouse around the gui interface, and get
the correct port assigned that way. I'm able to do that with
wineyes. I don't always get it right the first time, but I've gotten
it right shortly after the first time several times now. You can
verify with vboxmanage showvminfo vm_name if the port got assigned. This is
something that seems to be broken since 1.5.4, but Innotek haven't
apparently fixed it yet. Virtualbox isn't perfect, and I never said
it was. My personal opinion is that there is currently no
virtualization solution which is perfect in every respect. They all
have their pro and con sides. Virtualbox floats my boat, and so I've
decided to settle on it for the most part.
