title: Testing Rails App running on mac os x from VirtualBox
body: <p>I am running a Rails app on server 3000 on my Mac OS X, and am trying (and failing to) connect to it from a Windows XP IE7 VM.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried the following:</p>
  
  <p>NAT and using the ip address provided on the mac through <code>ifconfig</code>
  Bridged Adapter in promiscuous mode and using the ip address provided on the mac through <code>ifconfig</code>
  Host Only and using the ip address provided on the mac through <code>ifconfig</code>
  Bridged Adapter in promiscuous mode and 10.0.2.2:3000 (as outlined here:<a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682519" rel="nofollow">http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=682519</a>).</p>
  
  <p>None of these appear to be working...</p>
