netsh portforwarding not working while accessing url from mobile

Question

Problem statement : I have an Oracle VM running on my windows machine. And the VM machine has an application running in jboss. I want to access this application (running on VM) on my mobile.

What I had tried : I tried port forwarding using below commands and it is working perfectly when I access this from Desktop browser(http://{hostmachineip or localhost}:9098 is connecting to jboss on VM). Now if I access this from my Mobile browser(connected to Desktop wifi hotspot and url-- http://hostmachineip:9098 ), it is not working.

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=9098 connectaddress=<IP of VM>

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=9098 listenaddress=<IP of Host Machine> connectaddress=<IP of VM> connectport=9098

Oracle VM network settings:

Attached to : Host-only Adapter

Promiscuous Mode: Deny

I'm not supposed to change Adapter to Bridged Adapter as the IP for VM will change and it has a major impact in my existing project.

Answer 1

It is an issue with windows firewall. opened 9098 port and it started working. Link describing steps to open port.
