I'm using "Parallels Desktop for Mac Business Edition" Version 18.1.1 On my mac, I'm developing a website, now https://localhost:8000/#/site can be launched in a browser (though the browser shows it's not secure). I would like to make the browsers under Windows access the website in development. Here are the settings of Parallels Desktop Preferences: https://ibb.co/t4s6Rkw and https://ibb.co/St2MB90 Here is the ipconfig under windows: https://ibb.co/44GFXCJ In the Chrome under Windows, I tried http://10.211.55.1/#/site and http://10.211.55.5/#/site, they both showed "refused to connect", here is one screenshot: https://ibb.co/5TR5BQ6. I tried http://10.211.55.254/#/site, http://10.37.129.1/#/site and http://10.37.129.254/#/site, they all showed "took too long to respond", here is one screenshot: https://ibb.co/C9S5LYn. Does anyone know what's the standard way to access local network of Mac from Windows? Thank you
Under Windows, I tried http://10.211.55.1:8000/#/site, http://10.211.55.5:8000/#/site, etc. They showed the same errors as without "8000".
Hello, You can try using Bridged network mode in your virtual machine. Then the IP address of your Mac(for instance 192.168.100.5) should be reachable by the virtual machine that will also have an IP address from the same pool(192.168.100.6 for instance). You will have to check an IP address of your Mac and virtual machine. To switch, to the bridged network mode, open your virtual machine configuration -> Hardware -> Network -> select "Default adapter" under "Bridged" in the "Source" drop-down menu. For Shared network, 10.211.55.1 is an address of an internal nat-server, for Mac the address would be 10.211.55.2 usually. You can check it by running an "ifconfig" command in the macOS Terminal. It may also be required to set up port forwarding in case of a Shared network, you can do that in Parallels Desktop Preferences -> Network -> Shared. Please check the following article for details: https://kb.parallels.com/en/124718 If you cannot connect using either of those options, please reproduce the issue once again and collect a technical report right after the issue is reproduced as described in KB https://kb.parallels.com/124107 . Send me your report ID number, please.
