Browse local websites (Win4Lin on Ubuntu)

[Dirk]

Hi,

I was wondering how I could browse my websites I have running on my
Linux machine in the IE browser running on Windows XP in Win4Lin.

Is that at all possible? I added the local URL to the hosts files in
Windows but that doesn't seem to work.

Thanks,
Dirk

On mine, the host IP is 10.0.2.4

In c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file:

10.0.2.4 host

I have apache running vhosts in my host os (Ubuntu 9.04). I set up
the virtual hosts with addresses like this:

www.ci.localhost (local CodeIgniter install)

So...

I added a line in my windows hosts file like so:
10.0.2.4 www.ci.localhost

If I open IE and browse to http://www.ci.localhost, I get the host OS
website :) very handy for testing web applications in both Linux and
Windows
