I have successfully pinged and telnet my virtualbox with my host computer but when I go to connect to the sql server with workbench I get the following error: 'Lost connection to MySQL server at 'waiting for initial communication packet', system error: 60'.
Have tried everything it seems like and cannot seem to fix the issue.
Ultimate goal is have access to this through a WorkBench on a seperate computer.

So is it SQL Server you are connecting to or MySQL? This is a SQL Server forum, and MySQL Workbench will not be able to connect to Microsoft SQL Server.

Okay so my thinking may be wrong (first SQL server I am building).
I have an SQL Server Management Studio server set up on a virtual box and thought that I could connect to it remotely through MySQL workbench...is my thinking wrong?

"SQL Server Management Studio" is not a server, that is the SQL Server client tool, the equivalent of MySQL Workbench.
Even if you do have a SQL Server instance installed, MySQL Workbench cannot connect to it. It would essentially be speaking a different language than the SQL Server instance.

Okay I understand now.
Thank you for clearing that up for me.
