Partially solved: intranet services require the home/work networking capability.
Now, I still need to access the Web service hosted in my machine. I've tried using the checknetisolation.exe tool but it still doesn't work. btw, here's the command I've run:
checknetisolation loopbackexempt -a -n=win8tests_t2ggmrgk4m9fg
(I've went into the manifest and I've used the name from the Package Family Name option of the packaging tab)
running the checknetisolation loopbackexempt -s, I can see that the rule was added:
PS C:\Windows\system32> checknetisolation.exe loopbackexempt -s
List Loopback Exempted AppContainers

PS C:\Windows\system32>
Unfortunately, I still can't get the data from my app.
I've only managed to get the data from my service by opening fiddler2: after doing that, my local service is invoked and everything works as expected.
any thoughts??
thanks.
