title: Access local host website from Android Device
body: <p>I have created web services application in asp.net mvc and now need to access it from my Android device connected on same network. This is needed to debug webservies application. I do not have a static IP. The site is running with url <a href="http://localhost:27719" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:27719</a> but I cannot access localhost from Android device. I researched web and tried below options:
  Tried changing website binding information in applicationhost.config file. But I couldn't find my webstie entry in applicationhost file.
  I have also tried opening the specific port 27719 in windows firewall. But that isn't working too.
  I am able to access website if I host on IIS. But I need to access it when I run from Visual Studio, so that I can debug.
   Please suggest how can I access webservices on my machine from Android device connected to same wifi network.</p>
