Q: 

Connecting to a Web Service running on Visual Studio Development Server from another machine

Hi,

I have a web service running on machine A on Visual Studio's build-in Development Server. For testing purposes, I'd like to test the service by connecting to it from machine B, which is in the same subnet.

Is this possible? Or is VSDS restricted to localhost calls only?

+1  A: 

Visual Studio's Web Development server doesn't support remote connections. You might need to install IIS for this purpose or some proxy server like Squid.

You can also use Fiddler as the proxy.
