I have Windows XP running inside Windows 7 via Virtual PC (XPMode) and installed Zend Server CE on the virtual XP guest. The webserver is running and can be accessed on the guest, but I cannot access the webserver from the Win7 host.
I configured a static IP address and subnet of 255.255.255.0 on the guest and can ping this IP from the guest but not from the host. The other way it works fine, i.e. I can ping the host from the guest. I can also access the internet from the virtual XP guest.
I tried different Network Options in the VirtualPC settings, but nothing helps. Googling the topic I couldn't find anything helpful yet.
Any idea, what I could try to access the webserver on the virtual XP guest from the Win7 host?

Finally I got it running.
Here is what I did:
Don't ask me why, but it didn't work with defining a static IP address on the guest, so I left it to dynamic. The ping command does not work either, so don't check access by pinging your guest, just test with your browser.
I dont't really know much about network configuration, so there might be a better solution :)
