Interesting question. I run a server on my local linux box. My android app needs to communicate with it to pull some data down. If I keep my android device on the wifi in the same network, I get routing issues. I think it has to do with loop-back of my router. I set up a no-ip.com DNS forwarding name, and use that name in my android app. While on wi-fi, it can't seem to resolve that. AS well, my other computers on same network can't seem to go out to no-ip.com to get the forwarding IP/port, and come back in to it. When I turn wifi off and use 3G, my android phone can then work.
This makes it kind of a pain when working on the emulator. Is there any way at least in the emulator to get around this issue? I can for testing purposes use a local debug string and use the ip of my machine while inside the wifi, just kinda sux to have to change that when I am ready to deploy to my android device. I tend to forget about it and have to rebuild again.
