Hello Manash,

I'll have a bunch of questions, because my crystal ball is in the repair
shop. ;)

I saw your question in the chat-room, please be patient for a reply,
timezones come into play.  Does this XSCE VM have one or two network
interfaces? I'm asking as iptables comes into play with 2 or more
interfaces.

This could be related to dns resolution with a single interface or iptables
with 2+ interfaces.

There really is nothing to open up, with a single interface the server is
wide open and if there is more than one, all connections from the LAN are
allowed with http and ssh allowed from the WAN.

Can you start with the number of network interfaces on the XSCE, and the
and the contents of /etc/hosts from the sugar client please.
