I need to test my web site, running on a local Mac, under several browsers in Windows. I use Windows XP, installed in Parallels Desktop. It would be great, when i will be able to access my from Windows, sitting in virtual environment (Parallels). How to wire all the stuff up? Update: I figured out, how to access shared web-site on the mac.
Feb 25, 2013 This is an installation guide for installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6 into Parallels Desktop 8 within Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8. I hope this will help somebody who has a. Parallels Desktop provides support for a plethora of operating systems, such as Windows (going from Windows 3.11 to Windows 8), MS-DOS, Red Hat Enterprise, Fedora, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Suse Linux Enterprise, Mandriva, Solaris, Chrome OS, Mac OS X Leopard and Snow Leopard Server or Android. Parallels can run another version of Mac OS X, however due to licensing issues, it will only allow you to run Snow Leopard Server. So you have to trick Parallels into thinking that you are installing a Server Version. Before running an upgrade to OS X Snow Leopard, make sure all your applications are completely closed, including Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac If there are additional questions on how upgrading affects your Parallels Desktop 4.0 for Mac virtual machine, please ask in the comments or e-mail me directly at sgibbons@parallels.com.
I have following settings: Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Network ->Cad software used by most residential architects 2017 for mac. Shared Network 'Parallels Shared Networking Adapter #0' i tweaked with ip=192.168.123.1 From WinXP this ip is accessible via ping. C: Documents and Settings Administrator>ping imac.local Pinging imac.local [192.168.123.1] with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 192.168.123.1: bytes=32 time. Type 'ipconfig' on your Windows command line. You will see information similar to what I see below: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix.: localdomain IPv6 Address......: fdb2:2c26:f4e4:0:a1e2:ed15:e43a:daf7 Temporary IPv6 Address...: fdb2:2c26:f4e4:0:b5d9:4d70:47a:b0b0 Link-local IPv6 Address...: fe80::a1e2:ed15:e43a:daf7%11 IPv4 Address......: 10.211.55.3 Subnet Mask......: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway.....: 10.211.55.1 If you note, in the last line is your Default Gateway and two lines above that is IPv4 Address.
Default Gateway is the virtual router between your Windows and Mac OS X. Since, Windows is using IP address of x.x.x.3 and router is using x.x.x.1, then Mac is available at x.x.x.2. In my case I am able to access Mac at 10.211.55.2. So you can access your web server using and in my case I use: I have edited my Windows 'hosts' file with following entry: 10.211.55.2 localhost.mac Now, I can type to access the web server running on my Mac. Though, this step of editing 'hosts' file in not required, it helps me. As a side note, you can access your Windows based web server from Mac using the IPv4 address you get when you type 'ipconfig' on Windows. Another way you can get Mac's virtual IP address is to type the following command on Mac OS X's Terminal: ifconfig vnic0 'vnic0' is the virtual ethernet that Parallels installs on your Mac.
