accessing local server with emulator

[Jared5755]

Is it possible to access a local server on my computer using an ajax request on the emulator? What about on a device plugged into USB?

I know how to access remote pages now with ajax, but would like to develop a cloud type program on my local machine.

If you run a local server all you need is to access the ip address your computer has.

That would defeat the purpose of me running a "local" server. I want to keep everything local. i.e. develop offline.

Then you can use probably use BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com or BlackBerry Forums at CrackBerry.com

mosdl wasn't saying your external IP, but rather your internal IP address.

As in:

you are on a router, and the following is your IP table (note, this is an exception):

your computer - 192.168.0.3
your phone - 192.168.0.4
your emulator - 10.0.0.10 (the emulator runs on in the 10.x block as it is handled by VirtualBox)

So, inside your emulator and phone you should be able to send a request to http://192.168.0.3

I see where the confusion is. I guess I didn't mean "local" as in on my network. I want to access the sever running on the same computer and not go through a router. On my computer I use localhost. That wouldn't work on the emulator though since it's a different OS.

Maybe this isn't possible.

Thanks for the help guys.
