PhoneGap desktop server is running, but cannot access on other devices or computers


Need some help here before I pull my hair out. I just installed the latest desktop app and mobile app today. I have the PhoneGap desktop app running on OSX and the server is started on port 3000. It works fine. If I go to 192.168.0.5:3000 I get the "Hello World" app. If I go to 127.0.0.1:3000 I get the "Hello World" app. Doing a port scan says that port 3000 is open. On my iPhone 6, using the PhoneGap app it tries connecting, but eventually gives an error. In Safari I try going to 192.168.0.5:3000 and it just eventually says "Safari could not open the page..."

I have Little Snitch running, but the network filter is turned off. The OSX firewall is not running. The firewall on my router is off. What the hell is going on?

  • Try going into Airplane mode, but turn on WiFi.
