I’m using http://localhost for accessing my web server on Mac, it’s simple and I’m sure it will work regardless of config files of particular application (most of the time). The problem is when I try to access that same files on Mac-hosted network from Windows in Parallels using the same address. localhost is basically "reserved" for local host in current OS so everytime I try to access it tries to access host in Windows, but I want it to access local host on Mac. Is there any option to redirect localhost to 10.211.55.2? I’ve tried with hosts file, but it does nothing. I’ve found this port forwarding utility for Windows - PassPort - which does exactly what I want (it redirects 127.0.0.1 to 10.211.55.2), but I was wondering is there some native option in Parallels for achieving this? Thanks!
