How to visit a url in internal network?

Question

My laptop is serving a web page at 127.0.0.3/abc , and I can visit it using this url on my laptop. Now my mobile phone and my laptop are using same wifi network. I can check the internal IP for my phone and my laptop. So my laptop's internal IP is 10.1.11.140 , I'm wondering how I can visit the abc page with my phone. I tried 10.1.11.140/abc and 10.1.11.140/127.0.0.3/abc , neither works.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You need to verify

1. That your web server is bound to the external IP (10.1.111.140)

2. That your firewall permits access to port 80 (or whatever port you are serving your webpage)

Answer 2

You should assign your laptop a static ip address. Do this on your wireless router. Enable the firewall for this static ip and configure your webserver (website binding) by running inetmgr . And.. this address should not start with 127...
