I set up a Debian server VM in Parallels. I configured it to use the Bridge network. DHCP is enabled, however I configured the VM to use a static IP.

On Debian the web server runs (`127.0.0.1:5000`) and the network is properly configured:
Code:
$ sudo cat /etc/network/interfaces
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug enp0s5
# iface enp0s5 inet dhcp
iface enp0s5 inet static
address 10.211.55.201
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.211.55.1
$ netstat -pln
(Not all processes could be identified, non-owned process info
will not be shown, you would have to be root to see it all.)

Now I try to access the web server from the host:
Code:
> ping 10.211.55.201

> curl http://10.211.55.201:5000
curl: (7) Failed to connect to 10.211.55.201 port 5000 after 1011 ms: Connection refused
The machine is clearly reachable and the web server works. What could be the issue here?
