Note that the property of NAT is that a machine behind a NAT router
is not directly accessible from the outside. So your guest can use
services from the host and from other machines, but other machines
and your host cannot directly access services on the guest.

To make a guest service visible from the outside you can either use
host interface networking + bridging (this is the preferred method)
or you can forward dedicated ports of the host to the guest. Please
have a look at the user manual, both methods are described there.

Kind regards,

Frank
