Laravel Homestead SSH remote sharing issue

I'm testing for the first time the share option in Vagrant and I'm doing it on a new Laravel Homestead VM provisioned Virtualbox provider on a Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32-bit host machine.
I am using MINGW32 as shell and I disabled the Windows Firewall (domain, local and public) for being sure that is not affecting my actions. Vagrant is not able to find the HTTP port automatically so I'm specifying it.
If I run the following command everything goes well:

MINGW32 ~/Vagrant/Homestead ((v6.2.2))
$ vagrant share --http 8000
Vagrant Share now defaults to using the `ngrok` driver.
The `classic` driver has been deprecated.

For more information about the `ngrok` driver, please
refer to the documentation:

#       to: 777
#       protocol: udp

and I'm able to ping 192.168.10.10.
I am using Vagrant version 2.0.0 and Virtualbox version 5.1.28 r117968 (Qt5.6.2). I tried to go to the line 61 of the file C:/Program Files/HashiCorp/Vagrant/embedded/mingw32/lib/ruby/2.3.0/socket.rb and the output of the value local_addrinfo is empty. I also tried to increase the value of the variable timeout but I had no luck.
Could you please helping me in solving the problem? I'm not sure if it depends on Windows, MINGW32, Vagrant, Virtualbox or Laravel Homestead.

homestead vagrant laravel virtualbox windows

Edit - It looks like there's a bug in the current version of vagrant share on Windows. Vagrant throws the error in the question while attempting to scan for an open port to bind for sharing: when testing each port, Vagrant attempts to open a socket connection and, because nothing listens on an available port, Ruby dutifully throws the error in question.

Workaround - We can manually invoke ngrok, the tool Vagrant uses to configure sharing:

  1. Create an account at https://ngrok.com/signup
  2. Copy the authtoken
  3. Install the token: ngrok authtoken <your-token>
  4. Start sharing: ngrok tcp 2222 (where 2222 is your VM's forwarded SSH port)
  5. Find the tunnel URL at https://dashboard.ngrok.com/status
  6. Connect using SSH: ssh -p <ngrok-port> vagrant@<ngrok-hostname>

To illustrate, if the tunnel URL looks like tcp://0.tcp.ngrok.io:55555, we'll use the following SSH command: 

ssh -p 55555 vagrant@0.tcp.ngrok.io
