networking - Access host machine port from Hyper-V guest OS

    I run Windows Azure Compute Emulator on my Windows 8 PC. It's essentially a web server (it hosts my web app) and it listens on 127.0.0.1 port 80. It doesn't listen for external requests at all and it cannot.

    For the purposes of IE8 testing, I would like to run Windows XP / IE8 as a guest inside Hyper-V.

    However, Hyper-V seems to give the guest OS it's own network IP as if it's an external machine. I cannot access 127.0.0.1 of the host machine.

    Any thoughts on how I can do this?

    Use PJS PassPort. http://sourceforge.net/projects/pjs-passport/ Very easy. Remember to run it as administrator.

    networking - Destination host unreachable after moving to Hyper-V
  • Bruno Shine

    Yesterday I moved a couple of Virtual Servers to Hyper-V. All went well for the exception of one server.

    After setting up the network like in all other server with a static IP, I cannot reach anywhere. The guest machine cannot ping other, nor can other reach it.

    I've already tried to remove the network card on Hyper-V and added a new one, but still the same.

    Any thought on what can be happening?

    Thanks

    I've had problems with the host's firewall & Anti-virus before, maybe disable those on both the host and guest and see what happens
