I have VMWAre Fusion running on my MacBook Air running Windows 7. I would like to use this local development environment to test my sites in Internet Explorer. Currently on my Mac and using MAMP, I can access my WordPress site via the following URL: localhost:8888/example. How would I essentially be able to access this local site through Internet Explorer in VMWare Fusion?
How to access MAMP’s localhost:8888 from VMWare fusion for WordPress?
Turn Internet Sharing on in System preferences -> Sharing and in navigate to the given IP address. You might need to change your WordPress site URL to that IP address for everything to work properly.
