Hello -
I am trying to browser test a Rails application in IE6 using Parallels. This means I need to access the locally running Mongrel server that Rails starts on port 3000.
Any advice on how best to do this? I am using Mac OS 10.5 and using Parallels to launch Windows XP. I realize I cannot access it using "localhost" like I would from the Mac machine; but when I try to access it using the ip address for the Mac machine, it tells me that "the page cannot be displayed". I can see pages from within the Rails app public folder, but not the app itself. As I understand it (which I may not) IE never hits the Mongrel server or can't find it or whatever.
Any direction on this is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Matthew
