Setting this to 172.16.1.6 (instead of the default 127.0.0.1) enabled the correct routing from guest to host. When invoking django-admin.py runserver, there is a documented optional argument ipaddr:port. Is there any configuration setting that must be enabled for routing the Django server from the guest to the host? Either in Ubuntu, or in VMWare (Workstation or Fusion), or in Vista or Mac OS X? But the Django server on port 8000 is not reachable from the host OS. I can successfully ping the guest from the host, and also ping the host from the guest. In bridged mode the guest OS has the IP 172.16.1.6 (assigned via DHCP by the TimeCapsule), the host OS has the IP 172.16.1.2 (assigned via DHCP by the TimeCapsule). However, I haven't been able to connect to the Django server from the host machine.

If you are using VMWare Workstation 11, you need to download and install Unlocker 2. How to enable Mac OS X Guests on VMWare Workstation 11?īy default, VMWare Workstation 11 does not support Mac OS X. We double click on Install VMware Tools, and we will follow the wizard that will appear until the end. In macOS we will see a drive similar to if we had inserted a CD into the reader.
