Difference network access for Ubuntu@VIrtualBox and Windows

Post by lily »

Hi,

I have set up an apache server in the company which I am working for. This server works quite properly there.

I tried to access that server from my home. I have one pc which has Windows 7 and has Ubuntu using VirtualBox at the same machine. In both case, I use VPN to access the company network.
I just met something strange. I can open the web page from Ubuntu, but I cannot open that web page from Windows 7.

Does anybody have any idea of what is possible reason? How can I debug the problem?

BTW: I think the apache server should work very fine.

Thank

Lily

Is the apache server is a virtual machine? How is it networked?

Windows 7 should have no problem connecting to an apache server. Apache uses http.
