Is it possible to get the WP8 emulator to access a ASP.NET Development debug server I run on my pc?

WP8 Emulator runs inside Hyper-V and the debug server on my pc is therefore not accessible to the emulator, is it possible to do so it is?

Only solution I can come up with is create a IIS server on my machine and debug that, but its much easier running development server.

The problem isn't really "how to access the development server from the emulator", but "how to access the development server from a remote location". The emulator is 'just' another device connected to the network.

And for that, I can suggest a few links:

    @Mech0z Looks like that very same article has been updated for Windows 7: http://web.archive.org/web/20100925095856/http://www.pluralsight-training.net/community/blogs/jimw/archive/2010/08/18/iphone-accessing-the-visual-studio-asp-net-development-server-windows-7-update.aspx It says that the old app isn't compatible, and suggest to use a tool called `SPI Port Forward` instead – Kevin Gosse Nov 01 '12 at 22:23
  • Cool, will look at that tomorrow – Mech0z Nov 01 '12 at 22:30
  • Official MSDN doc on this is at [How to connect to a local web service from the Windows Phone 8 emulator](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj684580(v=vs.105).aspx) – Arun M Nov 02 '12 at 04:36
