  • Is the Guest OS getting it's internet from the host, or from a passed through networking device (eg: wifi usb stick)? You will need to setup I.C.S. (Internet Connection Sharing) in Windows 7, and then either configure the host to get it's internet from the VMware network adapter, or if no passthrough was used, you'll need to configure host firewall rules to force certain applications to use the vmware adapter while allowing the host to still access the regular internet connection to be able to provide to the vm. I suck at I.C.S. so I can't provide an answer, but it can be done.

  • Alternatively if proxy level protection would be enough for your purposes you could just setup WAMP on your Windows guest, dump PHProxy into the www folder, and then open the host web browser pointed at your guest vm's ip (use NAT for ease).
