Cassini with Windows 7 XP Mode

Is there a way to access the Cassini local web server from Windows 7's XP mode?

I'm developing on the Windows 7 host machine using Cassini, but would like to test in IE6 running inside the Windows XP guest.

Solution

  • If you are trying to access the Cassini server in the XP VM from within your Windows 7 host, then I don't believe so.

    If you have to access your website from your Host machine from within a VM, your best bet is to host it in IIS on the XP machine.

    Or, if you're trying to access the site from within the XP Mode on your Windows 7 host O/S, you should spin up IIS on the Windows 7 machine and access it from XP - I think this is more what you are asking.
