I need some help with running my virtualized XP on a Mac host. I'm using VirtualBox.
In my virtual machine, I have XP that's running the XAMP/PHP web server, that has multiple sub-domains set up. The machine name in the virtual machine is called "Child". When I open a web browser in the virtual machine and goto: http://child, I can see my web pages and it loads the CSS files from http://css.child.
However, in the Mac (Host) I cannot seem to access "Child" via http://child. I have added "Child" and all of the sub-domains to the Mac host files and flushed the DNS and still nothing! I can access Child via the IP (http://192.168.0.60), however, the sub-domains don't work.
My virtual machine is using a bridged network adaptor.
Please can someone help me? It's probably something very simple but I am totally perplexed. Thanks.
