virtualbox.org

I recently started trying out some nodejs development on an Ubuntu VM machine. So far I've been fine doing it all on the VM, but I need to try some things out with the app from my host windows machine. The problem is I can't figure out how to get a shared connection between the host and VM, or at least being able to access my locally hosted app (on Ubuntu VM) from my Windows (host). E.g 127.0.0.1:8080.

How would I go about doing this? I'm quite new to the whole virtual box deal, so try to keep it on a newbie-level. :p

Thanks in advance.

Under VM Settings, Network, Adapter #, choose attached to "Host-Only". Then find your guest address and ping it from the host and vice-versa. By default, it should be in the range of 192.168.56.xxx

Thanks! Works perfectly.
