127.0.0.1 is the loopback (local address) for the emulator. 127.0.0.1 is the local system; so when you are on the emulator it is the emulator, when you are on your host it is the host.
127.0.0.1 can never cross a system boundary (for a given value of never). /Richard On Jul 9, 1:04 pm, NIK <nikolaos.katsa...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all. > > I faced a weird problem the last days. > > I had to call a restful web service from the emulator.
