Accessing vs 2008 project running on localhost from a vm

Question

I have a VM running IE6 and a VS 2008 project. I want to be able to access it via VM. So when I hit F5 a virtual server (or something) is running om my machine and i can test it by going to http://localhost:{some port}/

i wanted to access from the VM but i've tried http://{pc-name}:{same-port}/ and http://{pc-ip}:{same-port}/ but had no success.

I don't want to use IIS because I don't want to publish every time I'm testing it on IE6. I just want to test on IE6 on the fly.

You must use IIS and you shouldn't publish you application every time you change something. You will just use link, like you were trying to use before: http://{pc-name}/{virtual folder name}. I think you are missing something, cos VS virtual server is used only for local debugging and IIS can completely replace it.
