Allow my guest OS access my local host

[Daniel Linux]

Hi guys,

I need a help here.

I am a web developer and I have setted up in my Mac my local dev environment. So, I had installed Windows XP as my guest OS. What I want to do, is be able from my Windows access my "local dev" in mac. For example. When I am working in my Mac and I type http://test.dev, it will access my virtualhost. But If i am at Windows and type http://test.dev, it will go to Bing or Google.

Any tip?

Under your windows xp guest os machine, you could try editing the hosts file. I believe you should be able to use any text editor to open the file 'c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts' and enter a line like this '10.0.1.1 test.dev' where 10.0.1.1 is the network address of the mac os x host machine as it addressable from the windows xp guest machine.
