This server listens to a port which the NAT forwards connections to from the outside. I (normally) connect to the tcp server from a client on the linux host via the lo interface. The client opens a connection, writes a request and then closes the write side of the connection (shutdown(2) with SHUT_WR). After this, the client waits for a response on the read end. The server sends several packets of response data, but the client only receives the first packet. Observations: If I don't close the write side on the client, it gets all packets. If I connect to the server from inside the vista guest, it works with the write side close in the client (using winsock shutdown). I believe this worked in VirtualBox 2.1, but I'm not certain. I've verified that the server does not depend on the close of its read end to start sending a response. ",defect,closed,network/NAT,VirtualBox 3.0.4,duplicate,,,Windows,Linux
