I don't think it's a network problem. I've got Zope running on port 80 of this same VM and can access it from any of the other computers. I thought it might be related to using a different port than 80 so I stopped Zope and tried running the development server on 80. That didn't work either.
This is really strange. I always thought that when you run a server on localhost, it accepts all requests directed to the machine it's running on. With the Zope server, I don't define an address at all. When I run the server, it accepts any requests to the localhost. It doesn't matter if I access the machine locally using localhost or 127.0.0.1 or access it remotely using the actual external IP address of 192.168.1.117. It works either way. The Django development server must be doing something different but I don't understand what. How does it even know if the browser connecting to it is coming from the local machine or some other external? And if it does know, why would it care? -----Original Message----- From: django-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:django-us...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of CLIFFORD ILKAY Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 11:38 AM To: django-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Accessing the development server from another machine.

This is quite likely a problem with the network between your virtual machine and the physical machine. With virtualization, you have multiple ways of setting up the network between the VM and the hardware host and not setting up a network is even an option with some virtualization schemes so you must ensure that OS X and the Windows VM can see one another on the network first. -- Regards, Clifford Ilkay Dinamis 1419-3266 Yonge St. Toronto, ON Canada M4N 3P6 <http://dinamis.com> +1 416-410-3326 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
