I cannot connect to my virtual machine's environment, despite using an accepted private network and forwarded ports.
System
Upon vagrant up, I vagrant ssh into my virtualbox. The following request work as expected:

However, when I try both commands from within my HOST terminal, I receive the following error:

Even after trying cURLing from both port 6969 and 8080, I still have no success. I've used random IP Addresses as well as Ports. I've tried altering my virtual host to other port numbers. Nothing seems to work. I will mention that when first starting out, I noticed that this vagrant setup has worked --both only twice. Each time it was working, i would vagrant suspend and vagrant up the next morning to find that my prior solution is no longer working.
Perhaps this fact is what makes this process so frustrating. I want to get of MAMP for my current projects but fear that it is either my work machine's settings that are interfering or perhaps some other application or network related issue. I'm unsure what steps to take and am looking forward to any and all solutions.
a few tips/pointers.
