Help: Guest Machine (win 7) Cannot Access Project On Host Machine (win8 Pro) by Nobody: 12:27pm On Sep 03, 2014
WINDOWS 7 = WINDOWS 7
I designed a simple project which uses php, mysql, xampp. I wanted to tested it so I loaded an oracle virtualbox [host:windows 7] [guest:windows 7]. I pinged the host and guest and both were seeing each other. Furthermore, I was able to access the project on the host machine from the guest machine and it was successful.

WINDOWS 8 = WINDOWS 7
I tried testing the project on windows 8 [host: windows 8] [guest: windows 7], I pinged them and both of them saw each other. However, when I tried accessing the project on the host machine, from the guest machine, it responded “Unable to connect to the internet”.

My host file [C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc] and httpd-vhosts.conf [C:\xampp\apache\conf\extra] are all ok.

Please what can I do to make the guest machine [win 7] access the project on the host machine [Windows 8 Pro].

@olyboy thanks for the comment.
I got it working by making the guest win7 as the server and other system including the host win8 as client. And voila.. It worked.

Just to update my findings, I disabled windows firewall in both win 7 and 8, and the web pages loaded effectively
