How can I test in IE while developing under Mac OS X?

Question

I\'ve got my web application on Mac OS X and it\'s ready for IE compatibility testing. I\'ve tried running the server, booting up VMware and pulling up localhost:3000

Answer 1

Find the IP address that Windows is using by typing ipconfig from within a Command Prompt in VMware (the number you're looking for is labelled IP Address). Then replace the last number with a 1 or a 2.

For example, if the IP address that Windows is using within VMware is 192.168.78.0 then your Rails application will be available at:

http://192.168.78.1:3000/
