I am having problem with accessing Virtual Hosts (located on my Mac) from XP installed via Parallels. Here's the setup: - Mac OS X 10.6.6 - using pre-installed apache running via Web Sharing (not using MAMP!) - several virtual hosts set in apache's config - Parallels 6 (latest) - Windows XP Pro 64bit installed as Client - Network setup set to Shared - virtual hosts from Mac added to C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file Pinging gateway (Mac) from Windows seems to work just fine, but cannot access websites hosted on it - neither by directly accessing IP nor by VHosts. Turning off firewall didn't seem to help. What am I doing wrong?
It was my fault as it turned out. I was trying to connect to the gateway IP address, while Mac uses it only for routing. As a machine it retrieves the first available from the range. Let's say the network address is 10.57.57.0 with mask 255.255.255.0. Parallel's host on Mac sets gateway to 10.57.57.1 Mac as a machine gets 10.57.57.2, which means it in fact it is visible as 2 physical machines on Parallels' client's network with 2 separate IPs: Gateway on Mac: 10.57.57.1 Mac as a network client on Parallels network: 10.57.57.2 And the virtual machine gets e.g. 10.57.57.3
