Accessing Localhost port 3000

Hello I am running a rails application from my MacBook 10.6 Snow Leopard.

I can access my app using localhost:3000 on my mac no problem. However, when i run parallels desktop 4, with vista, and i fire up Internet Explorer i can no longer access my app.

I have tried using MYCOMPUTERNAME.local in the IE address bar, and also the IP address i get back from doing IPCONFIG in a command prompt window. Both of these entries in the address bar serve up the "It Works Page" from the localhost, however when i add a port to the end of the URL i get a "Internet explorer cannot display webpage" error.

e.g. robert-smith-macbook.local:3000 OR http://10.211.55.2:3000.

This is driving me crazy, as i simply want to test my app in IE. Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Bobby
 
Same problem

It's not related to Parallels though, I have the same issue trying to access my macbook from mac mini on the same network as well as via VM on VirtualBox.

Seems to be related to latest update, 10.6.7.

I'm on the phone now with Apple. Let me know if you find something.
