How can I connect from guest system to the host system web service

[MukhinSerg]

Hi everyone.

I have VirtualBox v5.2.26 r128414,I use host system is MacOS, guest system Windows10. I had try different network settings, I tried to use NAT and connect from the windows on the 10.0.2.2 host. Also I tried to use bridge settings and try to connect on my host ip address. But I can't connect to the service. I have see "Can't reach this page" error with INTE_E_DOWNLOAD_FAILURE code.

Can anybody help me with this? What Can I change to solve the problem?

So, your OSX Host is running a webservice, and you want to connect to it from your Win10 Guest?

What's the service running, port number, and what's your network configuration?

Yes. Port for web service is 5443. I tried to use NAT configuration and try to connected to 10.0.2.2:5443. Also I try to use Bridge configuration and connect to the <HOST IP>:5443. But this not worked.

Because you're not supposed to connect to it at the 10.0.2.2 address, that's why, the VirtualBox version has nothing to do with it.

First of all, can you connect to the service from your own host? Like an http://localhost:5443 connection?

Second, I'm going to need to see the output of the following command from your OSX host:

• ifconfig -a

and the equivalent command from the Win10 guest:

• ipconfig /all
