Hi. Thanks a lot, this works for me.

However. Is there any possible way to use localhost instead of xxxxxx/dev.triumphofgrace.com?

Im doing some WordPress designing were the absolut URL to the CSS files are in a DB like http://localhost/style.css and I’d therefor have to change the value everytime I’d want to check the website in IE.

I’m trying this on XP running on VMWare on 10.6 but it isn’t happening.. I applied all steps without any problems but it doesn’t seem to work. Is there a known problem with XP or should it work as it does for 7?

This is what I’m doing in hosts (my inet is 192.168.232.1):

127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.232.1 macserver

Assuming I can access it through http://macserver:8888/ but no luck. Does it have to be a domain name on the mac host? and if so, how do I set that up?

Thanks for your help as this is really bugging me not being able to test locally on IE.

Regards,

Rob.
