I can access services, say Apache, by the vm's IP address, but I would like to access them by their machine/domain name.

I am using a bridged connection, so the vm has its own IP address. -- Cheers, Marc -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> </div></div>
