    Hi there,

    I've been reading about the localhost issues on this forum. I've tried quite a few of the suggestions but nothing has worked so far therefore, I'm sending out this post.

    I have a MacBookPro running Lion

    I've installed Parallel 9 and Installed Windows 7 on it.

    On the Mac OS, I'ved installed Mongodb and it works fine.

    The parallel 9 vm is configured to use Bridged (Default adapter) network.

    The problem is, I cannot reach the localhost of my Macbook from the windows (guest OS).

    I can ping my mac ip address from windows fine - but I cannot access Mongo on the 27017 port number


    Any ideas or help will be much appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    Check your mac firewall settings.

    Hi Mike,

    My macbook firewall is turned off - I checked it in system preferences - an it still doesn't connect from win7 to mac.

    Thanks,
    Joe

    are both machine in the same IP address segment i.e. 192.168.1.x as an example?
