Host: Mac OS X Leopard Guest: Windows Vista
I have IIS running on the guest Windows Vista, and I'm able to connect to a local site inside Windows by specifying http://localhost in IE.
How can I connect to the site from a browser running on my Host OS?
The Widows vm is connected to a VPN. Running ipconfig shows 2 IP addresses. I have tried using both IP's in the host browser and can't connect.
I am able to ping one of the IP's from the Host terminal window.
Web Browser won't connect to guest IIS

Even when the Guest Windows isn't connected to the VPN, I still can't connect to the Windows IIS from Host Mac OS browser. Also, Windows Firewall is turned off.

You need Bridge networking for this.

Or Host-Only added to it, or forward ports if you want/need to stay in NAT mode. See the manual, chapter 6, for the networking options you have. A little further down is port forwarding.

Re: Web Browser won't connect to guest IIS
I tried switching to Bridge Networking but then the Guest didn't detect a network connection. Couldn't connect to public websites. Excuse my networking ignorance. With NAT, the networking just worked.
Can someone give me guidance on setting this up? For example, setting up port forwarding?

Ok, duh - I picked Ethernet when there is no Ethernet cable. Bridged Networking with Airport did the trick. Thanks!!
