Thanks for the reply.
I have the firewall on the mac turned off, I have a proxy set to ignore the IP that I'm getting from my guest OS (which I'm getting from my IP configuration). But when I run the Server on the guest OS and then try and bringup a page on the host OS it just idles for a large amount of time and then it times out.
Is there anything obvious that I'm missing out on here? Thanks very much for your help.
