Access local host website in Android device through wifi
android, iis, localhost, web
Solution
You need to add an inbound rule in the firewall for port 80 (or whatever port you used for your website on IIS):
- Go to Control Panel, Windows Firewall
- Select Inbound Rules
- Add a New Rule
- Select "Port" as a Rule Type
- Select "TCP and put "80" (and any other ports you want to open) in "Specific local ports"
- Select "Allow the connection"
- Select the network location where the rule should apply
- Give a name and an optional description
After that you should be able to access your site from other devices in the same network using `http://computername` (e.g. `http://myhomepc`)
