Question

hi,
I wont use IIS due to debug purposes.
I wantto debug my asp.net application when I type http:/192.168.1.117:8080/test.aspx nothing happens.
I wantto access this address using my android device which is on my LAN.
I dont wantto access on same PC.

I can access using address:
http://localhost:8080/test.aspx
or
http://127.0.0.1:8080/test.aspx

but I dont want them. because I wantto trigger the debug breakpoints using an android device on my LAN

Hello,

If your android is in your local network then it should be able to see the IP 192.168.1.117. Just make sure that you enable external connections on port 8080 via your firewall settings.

android is in my local network.but cant see web using 192.168.1.117 (static local ip of the asp.net development server running)

Im sure firewall on modem is OFF. and also firewall service is totally disabled from services  on PC too.

no luck.

it shall be a restriction of the webdev.server40.exe

Which version of Visual Studio are you using? Also how are you running the web site and what is the OS. Depending on your environment there are multiple solutions.

You can get started by looking at these links:

IIS express is the absolute solution.
but I didnt wantto install it.
so I found solution with zero configuration in a minute using a small http proxy tool.
