Loading guest OS's (Windows) localhost through my host's (Mountain Lion) browsers
- by Jonah Goldstein
For work, I have to develop in Visual Studio, which I run via VMware's fusion 5.
I really want to test via my mac's native browsers for a multitude of reasons. that is, view the IIs web stuffs that my windows VM should expose, in my mac's own native Firefox, Chrome... etc. if i could expose a pretty url, that would be even better, but i would certainly settle for an ugly IP :)
I got a decent number of views but no response when I asked in VMware's own boards.
Everyone seems to want to go the other direction (developing in sublimetext/textmate serving up through MAMP and exposing it to windows browsers to test) and there seems to be tried a true solutions for this. unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your preference) my startup is pretty entrenched in the visual studio development tools.
I'm really hoping that someone knows the answer to this.
Thanks :)
