Change running IP of Azure Storage emulator

I'm using the "new" Azure storage emulator command-line edition. In the previous version it was possible to change IP like 127.0.0.1 -> 192.168.41.123 when running .

I can not locate the same file anymore and have looked into the other config files, but so far with no luck. Anyone knows how to change it?

You can change the IP address in AzureStorageEmulator.exe.config file in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator directory.

For example, below I have changed the port from 10000 to 20000.

<services>
  <service name="Blob" url="http://127.0.0.1:20000/"/>
  <service name="Queue" url="http://127.0.0.1:20001/"/>
  <service name="Table" url="http://127.0.0.1:20002/"/>
</services>

You would need to restart the storage emulator for this change to take effect.

Also, please note that you can't use standard UseDevelopmentStorage=true connection string. You must specify custom endpoints in your connection string:

<appSettings>
  <add key="StorageConnectionString" value="AccountName=devstoreaccount1;AccountKey=Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==;BlobEndpoint=http://127.0.0.1:20000/devstoreaccount1;TableEndpoint=http://127.0.0.1:20002/devstoreaccount1;QueueEndpoint=http://127.0.0.1:20001/devstoreaccount1;/>
</appSettings>

It's recommended to use port forwarding because of the instability of Azure Emulator. However, it doesn't work when connectaddress is 127.0.0.1 using the built-in tool netsh on my windows 7 (see for detail: problem with adding a portproxy using netsh). I research and use PassPort port forwarding utility Win XP to help me with port forwarding.

For me, changing 

c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator\AzureStorageEmulator.exe.config

Worked, then stop and start the emulator. Check if that is working for you.
