Install a Debian Wheezy 64-bit guest on a Mac OS 10.7 host. 2. Configure a NAT network interface. 3. Install links in the guest. 4. Locate a server which gives a ""destination unreachable"" error when pinged from the host. 5. Inside the guest, try to use links to access that server: ""links http://example.com"". Expected behavior: * links immediately displays a ""connection refused"" error (i.e., the same as what the host does) Actual behavior: * links waits until the connection times out and then displays a timeout error * netstat shows the connection in SYN-SENT state until timeout Workaround: * Packets to the host in question can be rejected inside the guest, e.g. ""route add -host x.y.z.w reject"". Notes: * I hypothesize that the ICMP packet reporting the problem is not being passed to the guest. * I suspect the precise details of which Linux are installed as the guest aren't important. * I also suspect the problem can be reproduced with a simple connection refused from a reachable server, e.g. ""http://google.com:9999"". * See also https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=48644 Thanks for your hard work on VirtualBox!",defect,closed,network/NAT,VirtualBox 4.1.12,fixed,ICMP,,Linux,Mac OS X
