Is it possible to access the Azure emulator from another computer on the same network?

Question

I'm running Windows 7 (x64) with VS 2010 SP1 and the Windows Azure SDK 1.5. I'd like to be able to debug a web application on an iPhone connected to the same network to shorten debug cycles.

IIS is running on this machine and can see that a temporary site is being created when I debug the Azure project. Is there a way to add an additional binding to the IIS site so that I can connect from the the iPhone when the debug is started? I can manually add a binding once the debugger starts up but this is lost when I stop debugging.

This is a very old thread, but I came across it trying to do the same thing- after more searching I found this: and it worked great for me (Using Passport to pass the traffic)

Answer 2

you can use port forwarding to do that.

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=800 connectaddress=127.255.0.0 connectport=82 protocol=tcp
