Hi, I'm running the following setup:
Mac OS X 10.8.4
Virtual Box 4.2.16 r86992
Oracle Developer Days (don't know the version, just downloaded it)
SQL Developer 3.2.20.09
Networking is host-only, I tried bridged but that doesn't make a difference for the problem at hand. I can ping my virtual box just fine, telnet to port 1521 looks good too:
$ ping 192.168.56.101
PING 192.168.56.101 (192.168.56.101): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 192.168.56.101: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.449 ms

Trying 192.168.56.101...
Connected to 192.168.56.101.

Connection closed by foreign host.
When I create a new connection with sql developer, with the same hostname / IP (192.168.56.101), Port 1521 (didn't change that) and SID orcl, basic connection type, it can't even connect, throwing the error mentioned in the subject:
Status : Failure -Test failed: IO Error: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection
I have looked at various threads in the forums here but I'm still stymied why the connection seems to be ok, yet sql developer has problems with it. If I create an ssh tunnel so sql developer only has to connect to localhost it works:
ssh -L 1521:192.168.56.101:1521 -l oracle 192.168.56.101
