Error connecting to server about aenea HOT 3 CLOSED

Use the address bound to the vboxnet0 interface.

On the linux machine running the aenea server:

$ ifconfig
...
vboxnet0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00  
          inet addr:192.168.56.1  Bcast:192.168.56.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
...

aenea.json for the client (in the vm):

{
    "host": "192.168.56.1",
    "port": 8240,
    ...
}

config.py for the server:

# Host-side config (Linux host receiving commands)
HOST = "192.168.56.1"
PORT = 8240

An aside: I had very poor results when using xp vms to run dragon. I saw a significant boost when switching to a win7 vm. YMMV of course.

Thank you for your help.

After many hours, I have found the issue. The default adapter type for the "Host-only Adapter" is "Intel PRO/1000", but this doesn't work with Windows XP, you must choose the "PCnet-FAST III" adapter type. This seems like something Virtualbox should be able to figure out and set, but it doesn't.
