VBoxtool uses the following command to enable port forwarding:
VBoxManage setextradata "Linux Guest" "VBoxInternal/Devices/pcnet/0/LUN#0/Config/guestssh/Protocol" TCP

But this is only valid, when using a PCNet network card. When using an Intel NIC, "pcnet" should be exchanged with with "e1000" in the above command.

    Set to P2 because this is not reported by a user. Status is merely theoretical: PCNet is the default NIC.

      Hi Mark,

      I want to report that this behavior is not theorical, it actually happens. PCNet is no longer the default NIC, now Intel (e1000) is. By the way, there's no possibility to use UDP instead of TCP?
