I have Parallels 8 with a Windows 7 virtual machine and Visual Studio 2012 installed within.
I am attempting to access the IIS Express server built into Visual Studio 2012 from Firefox on OSx (or any other device on the local network iPad/iPhone etc...).
However it is not as simple as calling the VM from it's IP and just including the port. 10.211.55.3:4468.
I have attempted several different tactics from postings around the net, but with no avail. One posting included the use of Fiddler used as a port forwarder but this was very difficult to follow since the posting was several years dated.
Any assistance is appreciated and thank you for your time in advance!
I develop using .Net in a Windows 7 instance within a parallels VM and connect directly to it when working on iOS Apps in XCode.
When I'm trying to make an IIS Express site visible to the external host (OSX) I follow Scott Hanselman's instructions here: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WorkingWithSSLAtDevelopmentTimeIsEasierWithIISExpress.aspx - particularly the applicationHosts.config settings, the netsh commands and the firewall rules.
When I'm using OwinHost.exe I do port mapping from Parallels to my Windows port (like localhost:4001) by using the Parallels port mapping with a shared network setup. You find this from the Parallels Menu: Parallels Desktop > Preferences > Network Tab.
Then I can map localhost:4001 in OSX to point to say, 10.211.55.10:4001 and debug iOS apps directly on a .NET MVC Api with breakpoints
