Accessing host IIS from guest Linux?

I am running Red Hat 3.0 Linux as the guest on a Windows Vista host (Workstation 6) with Host-only networking.

While I can ping the host from the guest (ping 192.168.15.5) a

wget http://192.168.15.5/index.html

is not successful and stays with "Connecting to 192.168.15.5:80..." until I manually abort it.

The same http://.. on the host works just fine.

Any idea?

Post the output from " ipconfig /all " from the Windows host

Post the output from " ifconfig -a " from the Linux guest

Post the .vmx file from the virtual machine

Kevin, will do that later as I gotta leave now and shut down the VM. Any general hint why I could ping but not wget? (Firewalls???)
