Reaching the Localhost (mac apache) from the Guest

[fabiopigi]

Hi

i'm doing webdevelopement on my mac, and setup a local webserver for testing purpose.
when i'm at home i work on my desktop (macpro) which has an apache server.
i can access the apache from parallels (on my macbook).
however, when i'm on the road, and run the apache on the macbook, i can access apache from the mac, but i cant reach it from the guest OS.

thing is, i most of the time have no internet, since i'm maybe on the train, or in holidays with no internet connection, and therefore i dont have a network to get an IP.

how can i reach the Host's apache from the Guest OS?

Please use "Shared Networking" or "Host Only Networking", in this case you don't depend on external DHCP-server.

for the Shared Networking Host Address is 10.211.55.2
