Help with Linux, Windows and Xampp

Hi, I'm a beginner in Web development, so I need to test my web pages with many browsers at the same time, including IE6.

I installed VirtualBox 1.5.0 on Debian Etch, my host, then I created a virtual system Windows XP as guest, and at the same time Xampp (Lampp) is installed on my host system for testing my pages locally.

Now, How can I access with IE6 from a guest Windows XP to pages in my host system in which Xampp is running as local server?.

Thanks, and I'm sorry for my english, I'm still in the learning process.

Your guest is connected to the network thru network address translation (NAT) on the host by default. If xampp can provide its web pages to this network your guest should see them with any browser. If you setup Host Interface Networking then you have a full supported internal virtual network.
