Question

I’m trying to access my Tomcat instance on OSX with Windows 7 via VirtualBox.

My network settings on VirtualBox:
Adapater 1: Bridged Adapter
Name: en1: Wi-Fi (Airport)

Adapter 2: Host-only Adapter
Name: vboxnet0

my ifconfig -a from OSX:

vboxnet0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
ether 0a:00:27:00:00:00 
inet 192.168.56.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.56.255

I can ping my OSX box from Windows 7, but when I try to visit http://192.168.56.1:8080 I simply get an error that looks like I’m not connected.

Any ideas? Am I missing something in my OSX settings?

edit:

netstat -lan |grep 8080:

    tcp46      0      0  *.8080                 *.*                    LISTEN
