Why my access from my mobile to my computer network doesn't work?

I have a problem and it is that, yesterday, I could access from my mobile phone to my computer network but today it doesn't work. Why it could be?

What I have ready:

  1. I have running my local server with XAMPP (I have started Apache and MySQL).
  2. I'm connect via WIFI to the same network.
  3. My mobile phone it's connect to the computer via USB.
  4. I went to CMD, copy the IP of my computer and put it on the browser of my mobile phone, but it doesn't work.
  5. I tried with the url 10.0.2.2 but it also doesn't work.

Why it could be? Yesterday it worked perfectly putting my url in my mobile phone browser and today it doesn't work. I didn't make any change from yesterday. Had I forgot something? How can I check that all it's working correct?

Note: I saw a lot of questions that makes the same question but I couldn't solve my problem with them.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I saw a problem in my log console. The log it's here:

This is a solution that I found to make it works when this trouble happens. It is not technical (or I don't think so) but it works for me and it's the following:

  1. I connect my mobile device to the computer via USB.
  2. I run my server (in my case XAMPP).
  3. I'm connect via WIFI to the same network from my mobile device as from my computer.
  4. I went to CMD, copy the IP of my computer and put it on the browser of my mobile phone, but it doesn't work.

If I do the steps that I put above it doesn't work. So, what I have to do to solve this problem?

When I have configurated all the steps that I put above and this error ocurrs, I have to disable the WIFI from my mobile device. When I enable it again it works perfectly!

I don't have any idea about why it happens, and I know that it's not a very technical answer but I mark as accept because I think it can help another people.

If some of you have another solution to this problem or if you know why it is correct with my solution please let me know.

When you use a wifi network to communicate you don't need connecting the usb cable except of using usb debugging. I suggest the following solutions:

  1. Turn the windows firewall off. (or other antivirus firewalls or proxy softwares)
  2. Change your system IP address manually and use it in the android.
  3. Stop and start XAMPP. (If possible change the XAMPP default port).
  4. Check your mobile proxy setting. (you can simply forget the wifi and reconnect it).

Also to be sure if problem is from your PC or not you can use a second PC or Laptop and open the webpage from a browser.
