I am running a Rails app on server 3000 on my Mac OS X, and am trying (and failing to) connect to it from a Windows XP IE7 VM.
I have tried the following:
NAT and using the ip address provided on the mac through ifconfig
Bridged Adapter in promiscuous mode and using the ip address provided on the mac through ifconfig
Host Only and using the ip address provided on the mac through ifconfig
Bridged Adapter in promiscuous mode and 10.0.2.2:3000 (as outlined here:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682519).
None of these appear to be working...
