Communicating between WP 7 Application deployed on a emulator and a desktop application

Currently I have a server which uses the TcpListener class to communicate with clients. I have to test the communication between the Windows Phone client app and the server.

The problem is while developing my server is listening the IPAdress.Loopback (localhost) on my machine.

Is there any way to create connection to the server from the emulator, so I can test anything.

Well if I remember rightly you need to setup a port on your TCPListener, if that port is the same as the port VS is listening on then we will have a problem, the article below explains in good detail how to set up proper connections using TCPListener

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.tcplistener.aspx

you could just set up a laptop with your server/client on and have your emulator connect to the private network addess of that machine then you can test otherwise I would normally fire up a Virtual Machine on my Desktop and connect to it for testing Server/client stuff
