How to make server accessible from network?

[iduuck]

Hey guys,
I am currently building a "Container"-Application with a WebView (using this generator) and wanted to test the whole application on my iPhone. But now the problem is that no pc in my network is able to access the page through the public ip of the mac running the server.

I found out that one had a problem with this earlier, but I don't have a problem with mongoose or other Grunt plugins. Instead everything works fine on executing grunt serve. So what's the problem? I want to use the server on my iPhone for testing.

Did you specify the port?

You mean on the iphone browsing to ip:9000? If yes, then yes. Otherwise it's the default port.

[remicastaing]

Yes, it is what I mean. Personally, I have no problem accessing the app through the IP address of my mac. Perhaps, some problem with a firewall?

With gulp and other plugins it's working, though.

Are both of you machines connected via wifi? Just wondering if perhaps your router/ap is blocking wifi client communication...

Closing as this most likely isn't really a problem with the generator, but more so your network setup. This might be better for Stack Overflow, or Gitter.im.
