Remote machines cannot connect to Visual Studio web server
just figured out a good solution:
1) Set up fiddler on development machine
2) Set up remote machine to use fiddler as proxy
3) browse to http://localhost.:[insert your dev port # here]/ on remote machine
Sorry for answering an old question, but it ranks in Google so I decided to add my 2 cents:
In VS 2010 there's an option to use "IIS Express" instead of VS Development Server, which allows remote connections by default.
UPDATE: current version of IIS Express does not allow external connections by default, see HERE on how you can enable remote connections.
