Router needed for Emulator?

[GraemeLeech]

I am having trouble running my Emulator on the development machine. I am using a laptop with a USB Modem. The Emulator can access the internet, but cannot connect to my Apache server on the laptop. In resaearching the problem, I read the router could be the problem, do I need a router before this works, do I have one already? This is my first app and Im not sure where to go from here, below is the code I am using to connect to the Apache server from the App:

HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost("http://10.0.2.2:3128/YES_BUTTON.php");
httpclient.execute(httpPost);


Apache is listening on Prot 3128.

I do not have a proxy setup or a frewall on the laptop.


Any ideas?


Much Appreciated,
Graeme.

Can you access this link from the Browser within the emulator?

In principle you shouldn't need a router.

I assume that you've already tried using 127.0.0.1 instead?

Yeah, i tried using 127.0.0.1, but I read that that just refers to the localhost on the emulator,and Android uses 10.0.2.2 to refer to the localhost on the computer, I'll try connecting using the browser on the emulator, see if that works!
