check to make sure you did everything right.  why do you have it at
192.168.0.*? that's kinda weird.

really it's not hard and people that didn't know what they were doing got it
working easy.  i think you made an error or your virtual box isnt
connectable.  did you try running another service inside the vm and connecting
in?

i'd rather see screenshots than have someone type out what they think they
have it setup as.  tons of times i've seen people say one thing and do the
other.

get mbbs4ever and run it and see if you are connectable.
