I am running the Synch on a windows 7 32 bit VM using virtual Box on a windows
11  system.

The IP of the VM uses a 10.* IP Mask while the host system uses 192.*

I have port 23 forwarded in the Virtual Box software from the 10. to the 192.

I am able to reach the BBS both locally and using the dyndns however the board
is getting spammed with logon attempts which I know is well documented. I have
increased the MAXCONCURRENT line in sbbs.cfg to 2 but this caused another issue
I did not think about at first.

All traffic is showing orignating from the 10. IP Mask becuase of the port
forward to the VM. No logs show outside IP addresses. This limits even me
logging in becuase my attempt shows from the same IP address as the scans.

I am new to working with VM's so maybe it is something I am missing. Any insight
into this?

Thank you!
