I try to browse localhost on my HTC Magic. I have connected my device with Eclipse via USB. When browsing http://10.0.2.2 I get "Page not available". I remember, some days ago it worked.
But on the emulator I am able to browse localhost
Any ideas?

You can access your host machine with the IP address "10.0. 2.2". This has been designed in this way by the Android team. So your webserver can perfectly run at localhost and from your Android app you can access it via "http://10.0.2.2:8080".
To access the server from itself, use http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1/ . To access the server from a separate computer on the same network, use http://192.168.X.X where X.X is your server's local IP address. You can find the sever's local IP address (assuming it's Linux) by running hostname -I . 127.0.
To find your local IP address, click Start>Run>cmd and type ipconfig and your IP address will show up in the output. That's all. Now you can access (open) localhost from Android.
Easier way to check is in browser of emulator type 10.0.2.2 instead of localhost.
