title: Remote machines cannot connect to Visual Studio web server
body: <p>I remember when MS was developing Cassini - I believe they rolled it into VS 05/08, so I think this is a Cassini web server question.  </p>
  
  <p>I am using Windows XP with Visual Studio 2008, and find it quite inconvenient when I want to test a web page/styling with multiple browsers and multiple OSes.  Right now I have to deploy the code on our server, and if there are any updates that need to happen, the process turns into quite a time drain.  Since I am using XP/IIS 5, the option of using IIS is not an option.  The use of IIS on XP requires an extra prefix for a project, which breaks all links, css etc.  This was also a really quick development project so things like root dir that should be pulled out to config aren't, I am quite on board with this type of solution but it wasn't implemented in this project.  It also seems really sketchy that MS wouldn't allow a simple flag somewhere to allow remote connections - its quite simple (<a href="http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/11711" rel="noreferrer">http://www.devx.com/dotnet/Article/11711</a>) but I don't want to recompile Cassini.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know how to allow the integrated development web server in Visual Studio 2008 to be seen by other computers?  This would save loads of time.</p>
