I think Andrew is right. you may want to configure fxos-web-server to use a different port than 80. The ip address should be the same as your computer if you are talking about the webide / simulator; I think you should be able to use the loopback address and the new port number to connect.
On a side note, for the 3.0 simulator once you are connected, you can go to the menu -> runtime -> and select device preferences or device settings. Which is very nice. webide team is doing a great job in the tooling! Thanks guys!
