- PARALLELS ACCESS WINDOWS LOCALHOST FROM MAC MAC
I'm trying to get the same set-up that I have running under Parallels running on Fusion - under Parallels, it just works. Your advice about turning off Windows Sharing on the host side made it so that, at the very least, adding the 139 & 445 lines to the \ part of the nat.conf file no longer caused networking not to work at all on the guest side.Īlso, yes, I use BBEdit to edit the nat.conf file (I use BBEdit every day in my daily coding work, too). In theory you could use something like smb://ip_address:port but I'm not sure how that works for a multi-port protocol like SMB/CIFS. Yeah, the examples are that, I didn't uncomment them or try to change the ports for SMB. >I notice that you're using ports 137 and 138 for that I'm using the standard example's 6000, which, oddly, shows 6001 after the colon I don't know that udp matters for SMB, I just forwarded all the ports in my Windows Firewall configuration for "File and Printer Sharing" Oh, so you're trying to connect to a Samba server in a linux guest? I'm using a Windows guest. >as that's what ifconfig shows as my eth0 ip address. vmx files so that might cause problems with nat.conf. Second, are you using TextEdit to edit nat.conf? TextEdit has a problem editing. But, when I commented those lines back out, I could ssh in again as well ssh out.ĭo you have Windows sharing turned off on the host? If not, that could cause a port conflict. >When I added the 139 & 445 lines to my nat.conf file, networking no longer worked at all in my guest. I customized my Windows Firewall settings to only allow connections from my loopback adapter network (10.37.xx) so I feel comfortable leaving sharing turned on if I go anywhere.

Once I knew Sharing was working I concentrated on connecting from the Mac side. I tested my Windows share in the guest by mountingġ27.0.0.1\ShareDocs.

However, I get an error with 127.0.0.1 or localhost.Īlso, I had not enabled sharing in Windows, so I had to go in there, enable sharing, turn off the firewall, set a password (for security), etc. smb://10.37.xx.2/ (This is my en2 loopback adapter address). I can connect using smb://host_external_ip and I can also connect on my loopback interface, e.g. I bounced Fusion networking, then the tricky part for me is that I can only connect using any interface except localhost. skipping lines, at end of the section add: nat.conf subset follows (192.168.204.128 is the address my Windows guest shows in ipconfig /all): I have to admit getting smb was a bit of challenge but here's what works for me.
