You have a XAMPP server running on your development machine, that you can access natively from http://localhost right?

The copy of Windows XP running inside Virtual PC is a completely separate machine. On this machine, localhost refers to the virtual machine, rather than your development machine.

You need to connect over the network to the development machine. If the IP address of your development machine is 123.123.123.123, you should be able to connect to it using http://123.123.123.123

I had this same problem - I personally gave up and used Wamp - which worked fine. Know it's not the most helpful answer...

+

just a thought - have you tried 127.0.0.1?

I ask since some XP updates caused the loopback address to stop working for a while. If you've just installed a fresh XP perhaps the updates that fixed that haven't been applied yet.

Make sure that the IIS is on. If you're using Apache, make sure IIS is OFF.
