I am running MAC 10.8 (Mountain Lion) and Parallels 8 with Windows XP. I have two websites on Acquia Dev Desktop server and access them via the following: localhost:8082 localclienta:8082 I now need to view these sites in my browsers in Windows XP. My computer is located at mycomputername.local In Windows, I have tried: localhost:8082 mycomputername.localhost:8082 127.0.0.1:8082 I have read about hacks to Acquia's httpd.conf file. I don't want to do this. Do I really need to edit the Windows hosts file? I never did this before. And trying to edit it didn't work anyway. I have done this before and remember it was pretty simple. Can't seem to remember how to do it. This only works when hosting from MAC's default Apache at port 80: http://www.dashbay.com/2011/03/parallels-access-osx-localhost/
