Steve thanks for the info. I'm familiar with configuring a hosts file on a Windows machine. I'm not sure if the IP on my VM is dynamically assigned or not so this is a concern. I seem to remember in the past hitting an IIS site on the VM from the mac side and always having to change the IP. If you have any other info about how to solve that problem, please share and if not I will google up something to try and resolve that. Are you saying I could configure the hosts file on the VM for this. If you have an example line from your hosts file that would be awesome :-)
