To be able to access all subdomains in a Windows Virtual Machine you need to:

  1. Install Pow curl get.pow.cx | VERSION=0.4.0-pre sh
  2. Set Pow default virtual host alias http://pow.cx/manual.html#section_2.1.3
  3. Enable 'web sharing' in Sharing prefpane (and take your (ie: 10.0.1.11 for me)
  4. Use shared network configuration in //
  5. Edit your hosts windows file (Windows 7: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) with the Notepad app executed with administrative rights (right-click menu on the icon app), mine looks like that (see below)
  6. Enjoy IE awesomeness!

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#	127.0.0.1       localhost
#	::1             localhost
