i have a VM running Centos, I would like to configure it so that OSX can access a web server runing on centos, I would also like centos to access the internet. It was configured for shared networking by default and external access is currently possible from centos. As suggested on page 109 of the User Guide I added port forwarding rules to forward port 8088 on OSX to port 80 on Centos but nothing appears to be happening. Centos has a 10.211.55.y address whereas OSX has a 192.168.0.y address and I suspect this is the problem. Do I need to change the network address ranges to get this to work? (which really means interfacing with DHCP).
Sorry for the bump but no one can do this? Or is the User Guide correct and I'm being uniquely clueless?
You should be able to access Centos web server from OSX by address http://10.211.55.y/, no port forwarding rules needed for that. Does it work? If not, does the same address work from within Centos itself? If that works, I would check firewall configuration in Centos. If not, check netstat output for listening ports and web server logs for errors.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am indeed uniquely clueless. As always, if something networky is bafflingly not working, first check firewall settings. Perhaps the User guide could make a reference to firewall configuration?
