Accessing xampp from VM: what is the correct package for netstat?

I'm using an Arch Guest and a Win7/Virtualbox Host to set up a development server I can access from windows. I have heard I can locate the arch xampp server's IP address from the Win7 host if I find its IP address with netstat, but "netstat" gives me "command not found." sudo pacman -S netstat gives "target not found: netstat." Is the correct package "netstat-nat" [1]? If so, it does not work the way I expected; I get "could not read info about connections from the kernel, make sure netfilter is enabled by kernel or in modules." Does the Arch community not use netstat? If you wanted to find the IP address of an arch-based server running in a virtual machine that is correctly configured to allow incoming queries, what would you do?

Netstat is in the package net-tools, but wouldn't an easier way be just to do a ifconfig on the guest and see what its' ip is on the virtual network adapter?
