Microsoft Vm

For Mac users, the stalwart tool has been the Microsoft Remote Desktop connection. Available now through the Mac App store, it allows users to remotely connect to a Windows desktop to access local.

I'm running Windows 7 from within Parallels running on MacOS X Lion. I've also setup a local apache server; I can access this server from MacOS X via any browser. I've configured this using a combination of /etc/hosts and configuring the vhosts file: typing in http://epwbst into my browser brings me to the expected website on the MacOS X side. Doing this on the Windows side doesn't do the right thing. I am able to access any other web resource.

1. Publishing Agent, RAS Secure Client Gateway, and agents installed on RD Session Hosts, virtualization servers, and Windows PCs. There can be multiple sites in a given farm.
2. I'm in the same boat. My solution: Use the MS Remote Desktop Connection for Mac client to make a remote desktop connection to your RD Gateway server. From the gateway server, use its RDC client to connect to whatever machine you need on your LAN. It aint pretty, but it works.

I suspect that I need to reconfigure the DNS on the Windows side to look to the MacOS X side first. How do I do this?

The only thing really necessary is figuring out the IP address of the Mac host, and browse to that IP address on the Windows client machine.

For example, if your Mac host has the IP address 10.0.1.35, you should be able to browse to http://10.0.1.35.

If you have configured a firewall on the Mac, you probably want to disable that, or allow communication on port 80 to pass.

If you have configured named based virtual hosts in Apache, additionally you'll want to add entries to Windows' hosts file in %SystemRoot%system32driversetchosts, for example:

First ensure you have set the type of your VM network as 'Shared Network' (in Parallels open the VM Configure window > Hardware > Network). Don't know if it works with another network type.

From Parallels: browser test your OS X localhost:

Parallels creates a little DHCP network for your virtual machines, and the OS X machine itself is at the gateway IP. Go into Parallels > Preferences > Advanced > Network and the gateway is most likely the Start Address with a 0, 1 or 2 in front of it. For example, my Start Address is 10.211.55.1 and in Internet Explorer I type http://10.211.55.2 to hit the webserver I have running on OS X at http://localhost:80.

Virtual Machine

So, go to your guest OS (Windows) and edit the hosts file (on Windows it's located at C:Windowssystem32driversetchosts) to enter this Parallels gateway IP (in my case 10.211.55.2) and name of the VirtualHost you've configured in Apache:

This does the trick as that IP address is going to be maintained by Parallels and will not change as you change your location.

Windows Virtual Machine

Now you can access to myvirtualhostname.localhost (or whatever your VirtualHost is named on Apache) from guest's browser.
