![]() In my case, when I type 'ipconfig vnic0' I get the following output, you will note that you get inet x.x.x.x IP address listed which. If you have two VMs running, you will see 'vnic0' and 'vnic1' listed when you simply run 'ifconfig' command on Terminal. All these virtual ethernets will begin with the word 'vnic'. In case, you have multiple Virtual Machine instances running you will see multiple virtual ethernet. 'vnic0' is the virtual ethernet that Parallels installs on your Mac. Though, this step of editing 'hosts' file in not required, it helps me.Īs a side note, you can access your Windows based web server from Mac using the IPv4 address you get when you type 'ipconfig' on Windows.Īnother way you can get Mac's virtual IP address is to type the following command on Mac OS X's Terminal: ifconfig vnic0 ![]() Now, I can type to access the web server running on my Mac. I have edited my Windows 'hosts' file with following entry: 10.211.55.2 localhost.mac So you can access your web server using and in my case I use: In my case I am able to access Mac at 10.211.55.2. Since, Windows is using IP address of x.x.x.3 and router is using x.x.x.1, then Mac is available at x.x.x.2. Default Gateway is the virtual router between your Windows and Mac OS X. If you note, in the last line is your Default Gateway and two lines above that is IPv4 Address. You will see information similar to what I see below: Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:Ĭonnection-specific DNS Suffix. It will display the IP address of the adapter under Status to the right of the network adapters. Type 'ipconfig' on your Windows command line. The question is - which address should i use in WinXP-side, to be able to access "localhost:3000" on the Mac-side? Tried ips of "Parallels Shared Networking Adapter #0", gateway, ip of the Mac, but still no success. Actually, it is not accessible even from the Mac. So, the address " " is still does't work from WinXP. Note, that i have set the name of my mac to "iMac", which is equivalent to ip=192.168.123.1īut, the only problem, i can't figure out is unaccessible port 3000. When on the Mac i turn the "Shared Web" on, the address " " will get accessible from WinXP and Mac. Pinging imac.local with 32 bytes of data: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping imac.local "Parallels Shared Networking Adapter #0" i tweaked with ip=192.168.123.1įrom WinXP this ip is accessible via ping. Parallels Desktop -> Preferences -> Network -> Shared Network I figured out, how to access shared web-site on the mac. It would be great, when i will be able to access my from Windows, sitting in virtual environment (Parallels). I use Windows XP, installed in Parallels Desktop. I better stick to Windows.I need to test my web site, running on a local Mac, under several browsers in Windows. I ordered today a new Microsoft Laptop and will sell the brand new MacBook, because the here described issue isn’t by far the only one which annoys me with macOS. ![]() I also will give up now, for my own sanity, exactly as you said. But after a restart the NetBIOS name was again “Apple” or “APPLE”. Because after that the NetBIOS name was initially “MACBOOK-PRO” and not “MACBOOK” as I had expected. So I thought I should use your command to set the HostName to “MacBook” (sudo scutil –set HostName “MacBook”) which created a astonishing result on my machine. Print: Entry, “:System:System:HostName”, Does Not Exist ![]() Here are the results:Ģ.) /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c “Print :System:System:HostName” /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/ist Displaying the Host Name” things got weird for me. Therefore, in my case, the NetBIOSName “Apple” clearly isn’t derived from the Bonjour name (which apparently is the same as the LocalHostName), because my LocalHostName is “MacBook-Pro”.Īfter using the 3 commands from your chapter “5. The question for me is, where does my machine gets this name from? Where else is this NetBIOSName “Apple” configured? (This I configured myself in the GUI under Shares) (Which is the default name created from the initial computer setup) I used and checked all of your commands for the terminal. In my case the NetBIOS name can’t be derived from the Bonjour name. Well In my initial post I forgot to mention that my attempts also included several reboots of the MacBook itself plus my router of course. For me it’s even harder because it’s my very first Mac, thus I’m still an unexperienced beginner with macOS and have to learn everything piece by piece myself with the help of the Internet. Apparently I’m not alone fighting with this inadequateness of macOS.
