Bad Request - Invalid Hostname ASP.NET MVC4

Question

I've got an ASP.NET MVC 4 application, which I can browse locally

http://localhost:portnr/SomeController

When I try to browse it from another computer in the same network, or just by local ip, I get "Bad Request - Invalid Hostname"

http://192.168.0.x:portnr/SomeController

I dont get the same error if I specify an invalid portnr, so I guess the error message is from asp.net itself. I'm trying to browse the site from my IPhone.

What should I do to make this work?

I know this is a bit old, but anyway, better take a look at this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4866547/binding-iis-express-to-an-ip-address — Juan Ignacio Avendaño Huergo, Aug 13 '19 at 11:00

The port is an internal dev server port. You will need to use a tool like SPI Port Forward to forward your local port externally outside your local computer. Here is a link that shows you how the tool works,
