Connect Virtual PC to local web server without a network
Authored by: lloydi on May 16, '05 04:19:18AM

I have opened the scripts settings in VPC and set Networking Type to ‘Shared Sockets'

I have run the ifconfig command on Terminal as so:

sudo ifconfig lo0 inet 192.168.131.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 alias

I then tried to type a web address in a browser running on VPC for a site that is served up using Apache running on the Mac (dev.vwkombi.com). This address works when browsing on the Mac, but does work on Virtual PC ("Address cannot be found").

Have I missed any steps?

Note that I am not on a network of any kind – I want to be able to get VPC to access these Mac/Apache hosted sites without me being plugged in anywhere (developing on a laptop)

Thanks
