I'm really new to all this but here goes;

I have a test environment set up for a piece of server software running on Windows 7 within parallels on a domain name. This was done going into the "hosts" file and adding the line
127.0.0.1 myserverdomianname.com

Now I type in the domain name in the browser in IE and it works great.

OK I now need to be able to access this domain name from Chrome on my MacOSX to test a website I am building that will be making calls to my windows7 domain name.

Now my head hurts - can this be done?

I have read lots about people doing it the other way round for testing their MACOSX localhost sites on IE but not the other way - testing a Windows7 Localhost domain on Chrome on MacOSX.

Any ideas out there guys?
 
You have to know the IP of the Windows VM. As far as networking is concerned a VM is like another separate computer in a network. I've answered similar question before in this forum, you can do some searching.
