Opening local website on the Virtual Machine

In case if you have Windows XP (also true for Windows 7) on the VM, open “hosts” file from: C:\WINXP\system32\drivers\etc and add following line: <ip-of-the-local-pc> devel.localhost of couse I assume that devel.localhost subdomain is set up. Now you can reach the website hosted on your local machine.
