Thanks for the reply. I have tried using the IP address of the host machine like this:
String urlServer = "http://192.168.1.101:3571/mycmd.aspx? command=test"; but when I do that, my program times out on the 'connection.getOutputStream' call. I am also not sure I see how this would work anyway, since I an not able to access my local server by using that IP address, even from a browser.
