Allright, I'll try to make this simple.

I have OS X 10.6 as my host which as a Windows 8 VM running as guest on VMware Fusion 5.0.1. I'm trying to debug an app that sends data to one of our server which is reachable from the Mac.

The thing here is I try to use the Burp Suite to intercept the data going from the Win8 VM to the server. Burp works by running a local proxy that intercept all traffic redirected to it. I've correctly redirected from the default ethernet adapter from the Mac to the proxy.

The problem is when I try to communicate from the VM to the server. It seems like the proxy doesn't intercept the traffic. Even if I set it in the VM settings (Virtual Machines -> Settings -> Network Adapter -> Bridged Networking : Ethernet)

What am I missing here?

Thanks

Is the proxy running on your Fusion host (the Mac)? Have you configured the proxy settings on Windows 8? When you say the proxy doesn't intercept the traffic, what is the result, a successful page load or an http error? Essentially the proxy needs to be reachable from the VM's browser/app/whatever by network so you may need to configure the Mac to accept connections from the VM (even though the VM is a process running on the Mac). – john Oct 26 '12 at 20:01
