i have ubuntu 10.04 and virtual box running win xp now i want to test my page layout in ie so i want to access apache from with in my virtual box how can i set up this with out additional networking on the host (i.e. i want to have some kind'a peer to peer connection between the host and the guest)

EDIT: it would be nice if i can access win xp services from ubuntu too (the other way round )

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.100
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.0.0
    broadcast 192.168.0.255
    gateway 192.168.0.1

and for the win xp i gave a static ip

address 192.168.0.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1

Set your VM networking to Bridged mode. This can be set in the Networking section of the VM settings.

See here for more details: http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html#id489067
