Running Web Server in VMware
I'm running Windows 7 x64 and have VMware Workstation 8 running CentOS 6.2. Apache is installed, the web site is built and I can access it by typing in the IP address of CentOS into Firefox.. However, I can't access the website from the host system (Windows 7). I think I need to configure the network adapter of the VM differently. Anyone have any ideas on how to configure the network adapter to get the results I'm looking for? Once I have this part done, I'm assuming all I have to do is forward the port on the router and I should be able to access the website on the internet and not just internally, right?

The adapter must be bridged with your real adapter or with a virtual adapter installed on the host. I'm assuming you currently have both VMs configured in a virtual network together, and that this network is not bridged with your host adapter.
This is generally how any virtualization software works, software or hypervisor. -

Have you also opened up the port on CentOS to allow outside hosts to connect to the web server?
