Getting Fiddler to capture remote traffic

On my webserver I have an web app installed and I want to monitor traffic to/from that app. Hence I installed Fiddler. When I browse to that app from the webserver/through localhost the traffic is captured however when I browse to the web app from a different server no traffic is captured.

I tried adding:

 <system.net>
     <defaultProxy enabled="true">
         <proxy proxyaddress="http://127.0.0.1:8888" bypassonlocal="False"/>
     </defaultProxy>
</system.net>

to web.config and to machine.config with no success.

The answer accepted by the OP involves installing Fiddler at the server, checking the Allow remote computers to connect in options and setting the proxy at the client that points to the server on the port Fiddler is exposed.

They have some screenshots of this setup here.
