how to access cassini server remotely in LAN for demo?

Question

When Start Visual studio and run a silverlight application, VS will start a cassini server on specific port, like:

http://localhost:3107/MyApp.aspx

This is convenience for developer for testing.

Then I want to access this web app from another computer in local LAN for live demo purpose like:

http://mycomputername:3107/MyApp.aspx

but I failed. How to make it working?

Answer 1

Move your site to IIS. Cassini is meant for development only and doesn't allow remote connections.

A simpler solution would just be to RDP into your development machine while doing the demo.

Answer 2

Another (hacky) option would be to use sshd or other proxy to create a tunnel on the machine to the local port. But @Bob has it right - Cassini is designed for local access only.

Answer 3

Try using UltiDev Cassini Web Server. I'v used it my self to create web services and its very good and stable.
