Windows GUEST accessing my local webserver on Ubuntu HOST?
Posted: 18. Mar 2008, 11:38
Hi,
I was wondering if it was possible to have a setup like so.
On my Ubuntu HOST, I have my own local webserver running on which I can do my web developement locally.
I installed VirtualBox and Windows XP as a GUEST for the sole purpose of being able to test various browsers on a windows OS.
So ideally Id like the WinXP guest to just be able to hit my webserver running on my Ubuntu OS.
Normally I would have a webserver running on Windows and just modify the hosts file to point certain domains at the local server, but that would require copying the files over from Ubuntu to Windows and running to separete servers when all I want in Windows is to be able to test sites in the browsers.
Can this be done?
Thanks in advance
