Type Win+R (To open Run) Open cmd type ipconfig You will get IP address in Ipv4 Address field. Note: The IP will reset on connection reset/restart

OR You can access localhost from Bluestacks by 10.0.2.2

This does not seem to work when using a port number as well. I always get "The request hostname is invalid". – Vincent P Feb 20 '15 at 09:22
192.168.1.10 <<< is what you mean – Zulqurnain Jutt Dec 21 '15 at 21:05

Follow the tutorial on this link: HOW TO ACCESS TO XAMPP FROM BLUESTACKS.

It will guide you explicitly on how to install loopback adapter on Windows and configure your IP.

Step 1: Install Microsoft Loopback Adapter in Network Connection Manager

To install the Loopback adapter in Windows Vista, 7, 8, Server 2008 or Server 2012:

Click Start, then type cmd in the search box. When cmd.exe appears, right-click it and choose Run as administrator.
In the command prompt, type hdwwiz.exe and press Enter. Click Next.
Select Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced), then click Next.
Select Network adapters, then click Next.
Select Microsoft as the manufacturer, select Microsoft Loopback Adapter as the adapter, then click Next.
Select Next to confirm the installation.
Select Finish to complete the installation.

To configure the newly created adapter:

Click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Select the newly created connection (named Local Area Connection #, where # is its order number).
Right-click on the selected connection and choose Properties from the menu.
Confirm that Microsoft Loopback Adapter or Microsoft Loopback Adapter # is displayed in the Connect Using: field.
If it is not, return to step 2 and retry properties for another adapter.
Deselect everything except Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties to open Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties.
Select Use the following IP address. Fill in the IP address and Subnet mask fields.
Example: 192.168.1.10, 255.255.255.0
Click Advanced to open Advanced TCP/IP Settings.
Switch to WINS and select Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.
Click OK* to close Advanced TCP/IP Settings.
Click OK to close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties.
(Windows XP only) Deselect Notify me when this connection has limited or no connectivity to remove the connection warning icon from the system notification area.
Click OK to close the connection properties.

You will find screenshots in the tutorial from the above mentioned link. It worked for me sure it helps.
