The address 10.0.2.15 is not visable from host side.  Slirp is the 
"localhost" or your real network address.

Remember: Slirp has no ping supoort.

You can see the "open ports" directly on your Windows command prompt 
with "netstat.exe -an" as "LISTENING", or with the tool TCPview from 
Sysinternals.
Also remember, that you must open your Firewall for slirp redirections.

To connect from your Host to coLinux via slirp-redirections you should 
use localhost or 127.0.0.1.  With the example above you can connect SSH 
as localhost:22 from your Windows.  Use your IP:22 from outside of your PC.
