1. Enviroment

1.1 Host machine

  • Windows 8.1 Enterprise
  • Chrome v42.0.2311.152
  • Firefox v38.0.1
  • IE v11.0.9600.17031
  • VirtialBox
  • Vagrant
  • 80 port forwarded to port 80 at guest machine at 192.168.56.101
  • hosts entry for www.myproject.wip pointing to 192.168.56.101
  • no proxy in IE/Chrome network settings
  • automatically discover DNS
  • DNS prefetching disabled
  • third party search engines in address bar disabled

1.2 Guest machine

  • Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
  • Apache 2.4

2. The problem

With virtual machine running when I open Firefox and browse www.myproject.wip it correctly displays the local website hosted on Apache inside the virtual machine.

When I try the same in IE or Chrome as a result I get "could determine the IP address for host www.myproject.wip". This is a standard error page from my organization's DNS.

How to debug this?

I've tried:

  • disableing all plugins
  • clearing browser cache
  • ipconfig /flushdns
  • chrome://net-internals/#dns clear host cache

to no avail :(

Add this line to your hosts file of Windows:

192.168.56.101 www.myproject.wip

This file is located at this path:

c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

Hope this help

Old post but, Possibly change hosts on the device too to point to your host machine.
