Make grunt to run from "dest" and expose it via IP

Question

I am new to using Grunt build tool. Suppose if I already have the required files in my "dest" folder how can I use Grunt to simply load the same to the server. Also, I am currently able to access grunt service running on "localhost" on 9090 port. But if I replace the "localhost" with my ip address, I am getting a 404. I tried the same with my tomcat server but I am able to access the tomcat server on 8080 port via IP address as well. Please let me know what needs to be done to allow access via IP? I am using a Windows PC

In case someone stumbles upon this one, just change localhost to 0.0.0.0 in the gruntfile.
