Thank you for your reply richard. I was thinking that because the emulator and the application server are working on different ports i could use the localhost in the emulator in order to call the web service.
So, the only way of calling a localhost web service from the emulator is by using the actual network IP address? But my IP address changes every time. That means i have to change my program every time? Is there another way?
