I use Windows (7) OS as a development platform, running on a Mac / Parallels Desktop 5.

I would like to access the Windows localhost - from the Mac side for testing purposes.

I've found many solutions of accessing the other way around (access Mac's localhost from Windows) - but found no solution for this access direction (if any).

Any idea ? Is it possible ?

I have a late 2013 27in iMac running Sierra. After a couple of hours it 'disconnects' from my network, but in a very odd way. The computer can still access the network but I cannot connect to it via VNC, or if I have any services running on it I am unable to access them through my local IP. No internet connection in Windows, however internet is accessible on the Mac side. Internet connection is low or unstable. Issues with network dependent software even though the internet in Windows is working fine. Other home network computers are not reachable. Make sure your Mac is connected to. For example, in this OS X virtual machine (see image below), Parallels had automatically setup my network connection as wired (which was incorrect). When I switched to wireless adapter I could have my connection back again.

Home Forums > Parallels Desktop for Mac > Windows Guest OS Discussion > Network adapater constantly disconnects. Discussion in 'Windows Guest OS Discussion' started by DanielG2. (or may be they are preinstalled in the VM BIOS, or smth like that). The idea is to let users connect to the network even if Parallels Tools are not installed. I have run into no issues at all, and this is a dream system, except for one. I own a copy of Parallels Desktop 7 (version 7.0.14922) and have it installed. Whenever I launch a virtual machine with bridged networking enabled, it disables my network adapter on the host machine. It's not exactly.

I had the same problem as you Ranch. I'm running Win7 on Mac OS X (Snow Leopard) / Parallels 5. I solved my localhost problem on mac , by turning off win7 firewall and 'enable' anonymous authentication in Authentication setting in IIS Manager.

Also I've configured in parallels:

1. Configure - hardware - Network adapter 1: Default Adapter

2. Preferences - network - connection type - shared networking

Edit: For Parallels 8

1. Configure > Hardware > Network adapter 1: Default Adapter

2. Preferences > Advanced >Network: Change Settings > Shared

The above didn't help me, but this did:

• Go to Windows VM, go to Start --> Run... --> type cmd.exe

• The windows command line opens. Type ipconfig and find out yourIP4-adress.

• Edit your macs hosts file as described in this blogpost. Put in thefollowing line, replacing my windows VMs local IP (here 10.211.55.5) with the one you found out in the step before:

Then, you can access the localhost of windows using win instead of localhost, for example http://windows:8080/someapp

This depends on how your network card is setup in the virtual machine. I don't know how it is in parallels, but in VMWare Fusion you can either set it up as 'bridged' (which means sharing the same ip with the host), 'NAT' which means it will have it's own private ip address and connect to the internet through the host , or 'Private network' which means it will have a private IP address and will not connect to the internet. In the second and third case you can access the web server running on windows using the private ip address of the virtual machine, but in the bridge case I don't think this can be done.

Sounds to me like your Parallels config is set to Host-Only networking for the Guest.Switching to Shared Networking should give your guest Windows OS a local IP address.

Then, you will have to access the Windows local IP address (not 127.0.0.1) from the Mac browser. You can find out the IP address to use by opening a command prompt in the Windows guest and taking a look at the output of the ipconfig command.

Mac Disconnects From Wifi

I have followed the instructions above and Akku's provided the important hint, although for me it did not work.When I run ipconfig in the windows command line, I get 10.211.55.3 as an IPv4-Address and 10.211.55.1 as the standard gateway. Using 10.211.55.3 in the windows hosts file (C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts) did not work - not sure why. So I tried: 10.211.55.2 and it worked.

Summing up: you have to set up your apache virtual host config first as described and then you have to open: C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts and enter: 10.211.55.2 mysite.localhost (or whatever you defined in your virtual host config file). Hope this helps for those with the same problem as me.
