I learned about this from Jim Wilson’s blog post www.pluralsight.com where he was trying to connect an iPhone to the Visual Studio ASP.NET Development Server.

I use the same technique he uses to fire up a virtual machine and test my site in IE 6.0.  He used the Microsoft Soap Toolkit 3.0 simply called “Trace Utility”. You can download the toolkit from here.

With that, you now have port-forwarding in place. Now on your device, enter the URL using the Trace Utility listen port, 8080, like this.

See his site for more detailed instructions:
