For doing demonstrations of the mobile app and functionality of Laserfiche I typically use my iPad and set up a small router to connect it to my laptop where everything resides (LF, SQL, Repository, IIS etc.).

I recently tried to use the new Windows mobile app to connect to my local repository.  This way I don't have to pass around a tablet or disconnect my laptop for the projector to connect it to the projector, I can simply show everything on the projector for the whole room to see.  My mobile works great as long as I connect to it from another device, even the Windows mobile app from another workstation on our network here at the office.  

However, any time I try to use the Windows mobile app on my Windows 8.1 laptop to connect to the repository / mobile site that resides on my laptop I always get the following Network Failure error. 

It doesn't matter if I use any of the following for the server address the above error is the same.

• http://lpcw864rammy/mobile/ (works connecting from my iPad or iPhone or another 8.1 workstation)
• http://lpcw864rammy.mvi.local/mobile/ (also works from other devices)
• http://192.168.2.98/mobile/ (also works from other devices)
• http://127.0.0.1/mobile/ (127.0.0.1 works for web access and attaching in the client, not for mobile)
• http://localhost/mobile/ (localhost works for web access and attaching in the client, not for mobile)

Any time I browse to those links directly in any web browser (Chrome, Firefox or IE) I get the error below.  I assume this is normal since that website isn't supposed to accessed from a browser. 

However if I add Configuation.aspx to any of the above links using any browser I do get the configuration page.  

If at all possible, I would love to get the Windows mobile app to connect to my local repository.  Thoughts?
