So I've been getting this error when I run my program, an F# web app, on my laptop, but not when I run it on my desktop. I know it has something to do with the firewall ports, and I've opened the port my web app uses, but for some reason I still get this error.
The web app is a simple Owin api with SPA front end, and it's meant to get data from my SQL Express database.
When it runs, my web app, is hosted on iis express and I've set it too port :1337. I've done a netstat -a to see all the ports, 1337 is set as listening, while :10000 isn't listed.
Any ideas?
The IP address 127.0.0.1 is always a loopback port and is the same as "localhost". So you can't access that IP across a switch, a router, etc.
Find out the actual IP address of your desktop (where I presume your application is) and try to access it that way. For windows, you can do run "ipconfig" at the command prompt. For Linux you can run "ifconfig"
