[xdebug-general] Unable to get Xdebug to connect to client

Hello,

In the past, I have had great experiences with getting Xdebug to
cooperate flawlessly with Eclipse PDT (I've switched to Aptana Studio
3). I'll elaborate a bit more on my setup:

OS: Linux (OpenSUSE 12.2 Text Install)
PHPv: PHP 5.3.15
Running in VM (VirtualBox), Host Windows 7.
The IDE is running on the Host.
Firewall (on host): Comodo Firewall, VirtualBox network is whitelisted
Firewall (on guest): Disabled

Ran the following test for connectivity (inside the guest, I can contact
the host via 192.168.56.1 (which also acts as a gateway)):

linux-i23u:/mnt/Workspace/openZ-stable # telnet 192.168.56.1 9000
Trying 192.168.56.1...
Connected to 192.168.56.1.
Escape character is '^]'.

Success!

Consequently I checked my firewall log (as the rule is set to log
events) and the event is logged as successful (it also show the
application that is processing the socket).

I checked XDEBUG_CONFIG environment variable:

linux-i23u:/mnt/Workspace/openZ-stable # echo $XDEBUG_CONFIG
idekey=ECLIPSE_DBGP_192.168.56.1

Here is a snapshot of my xdebug configuration settings:

zend_extension="/usr/lib64/php5/extensions/xdebug.so"
xdebug.default_enable=1
;xdebug.remote_autostart=1
xdebug.remote_log="/tmp/xdebug.log"
xdebug.collect_params=3
xdebug.collect_return=1
xdebug.remote_host="192.168.56.1"
xdebug.remote_port=9000
;xdebug.idekey="ECLIPSE_DBGP"

Everything seems to be order however from what I can deduced from
'strace', 'tcpdump', and firewall events. There seems to be NO
CONNECTION being made and I conclude that I must be missing something
for xdebug to function as expected?
