How to have VirtualBox with XP - Accessing Ubuntu localhost?

On my Ubuntu hosts file I have something like this:

127.0.0.1 something.dev

So when I type http://something.dev I got the desired result.

I wish to do开发者_运维知识库 the same, but by using the browser located on the virtualbox.

If I do: 10.0.2.2 I get my ubuntu localhost.

But I wish to access something.dev specifically.

How can we do such a thing ?

Add 10.0.2.2 something.dev to the hosts file of your host OS (WinXP)
