Ok, the problem is 127.0.0.1 is localhost - just to your linux machine. Do this instead:
Replace the word LINUX_IP with the actual IP address of your linux machine (ifconfig is the command to get it) python manage.py runserver LINUX_IP:8000 (or 80) Then type the same IP/port you used LINUX_IP:8000 (or no :8000 for port 80) in your web browser from the host machine.
