Need help connected to datastax sandbox from windows 10 host running VirtualBox - datastax

Question

Sandbox up and running in Virtual Box, bridged. My VM's IP is 192.168.14.200.
I can connect to ops center from my windows host by going to http://192.168.14.200:8888, as well as from within the VM by browsing to http://127.0.0.1:8888.
I can run DevCenter from within the VM, whose connection is localhost:9042
I downloaded DevCenter to my Windows 10 host and setup a connection to 192.168.14.200:9042, which fails to connect:
The specified host(s) could not be reached.
All host(s) tried for query failed (tried: /192.168.14.200:9042(com.datastax.driver.core.TransportException: [/192.168.14.200:9042] Cannot connect))
I have the same problem from within my C# code that throws a connection exception. I think if I can solve the DevCenter issue my C# code will work.
I have tried the following changes to the sandboxes cassandra.yaml file;
Change the listen_address by excluding it, changing it from localhost to 127.0.0.1, and 192.168.14.200, as well as with rpc_address.
At this point I am at a loss and any help just getting DevCenter working would be a great start.

My main goal was to get a development Cassandra instance running in VirtualBox on windows and connect to it using Datastax DevCenter from the Windows Host. I was hoping to just use the Datastax sandbox, but I ultimately got it working using this method which was using Vagrant to setup Cassandra on an Ubuntu VM;
https://github.com/bcantoni/vagrant-cassandra/tree/master/1.Base
There is a very nice Youtube walkthrough and written instructions here.
After getting this to work, I made the following changes to cassandra.yaml;
Comment out listen_address
Un-comment listen_interface: eth0
Comment out rpc_address
Un-comment rpc_interface: eth1
kill the CassandraDaemon
restart Cassandra.
I was able to use the 10.211.54.10 address from the windows host to connect via DevCenter.
Here is the network information of the Ubuntu VM which is hosting Cassandra.
