I’m running VirtualBox in bridged mode & i can ping the guest OS, but can’t actually get to the :8080 where I’m running the following:

var ip = ’127.0.0.1′;var port = 8080;var http = require(‘http’);http.createServer(function (req, res) {  res.writeHead(200, {‘Content-Type’: ‘text/plain’});  res.end(‘Hello Worldn’);}).listen(port, ip);console.log(‘Server running at http://’ + ip + ‘:’ + port);

If I try telnet from windows:

C:UsersBAHO>telnet 192.168.0.187 8080Connecting To 192.168.0.187…Could not open connection to the host, on port 8080: Connect failed

i love this idea, alot more than using cygwin on windows 7, though i’ve been running into trouble
virtual machine is setup, network settings are ok, dhcp server picked up an IP, i can ping it from windows
but, i cannot use the webshell / webmin or ssh connections, they all timeout and give me page not available

any ideas?

i’ve been looking for a simple setup to work on my desktop and run node on a virtualized env. had a full virtual ubuntu with node , but then i had to do too mutch work to get it running with the dev on the host pc, and hosting the server on the virtual one…
this seems to be the solution, if i could get it to work

Its really great post guys and so wonderful work. thanks guys for information about nix/BSD based system, its really so nice.

Thanks
