[Koha] Koha VMWare Virtual appliance problem

[cyberarian]

Dear Kyle

Thanks for detailed email.  I followed your instructions step by step.  Also
I've understand all the steps.  inet addr: value in my virtual appliance is
127.0.0.1.  But when I point to http://127.0.0.1 it says:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1.

It means, my windows xp machine is not connected to vmware player.  How it
can be connected.  Also 127.0.0.1 is default local address of each machine
and browser tries to open web service of same machine.

Any suggestion?
