Unable to acces ASP.NET website running in VMWare Server

So you have just deployed your new website for testing in a VMWare server session. However, you are not able to see the website, when you type that address in your browser. See the following troubleshooting list:

1. Check to see if the firewall in the OS of VMWare guest is blocking incoming request. To test it you could fully disabled the firewall, and if it works, configure the firewall to only allow traffic to the relevant web server port.
2. Verify that the web server was started and configured to use the correct directory for the web root directory.
3. Verify that the database connection string is correctly configured

These are a few quick items to look out for. However if you have come across other things that could cause connectivity problems, please add your comments below.
