When Start Visual studio and run a silverlight application, VS will start a cassini server on specific port, like:
http://localhost:3107/MyApp.aspx
This is convenience for developer for testing.
Then I want to access this web app from another computer in local LAN for live demo purpose like:
http://mycomputername:3107/MyApp.aspx
but I failed. How to make it working?
Move your site to IIS. Cassini is meant for development only and doesn't allow remote connections.
A simpler solution would just be to RDP into your development machine while doing the demo.
Use Fiddler!
Fiddler can operate as a "reverse proxy" which means that it can forward inbound requests to a different port or web server.
Step #0 Before either of the following options will work, you must enable other computers to connect to Fiddler. To do so, click Tools > Fiddler Options > Connections and tick the "Allow remote computers to connect" checkbox. Then close Fiddler.
Option #1: Configure Fiddler as a Reverse-Proxy Fiddler can be configured so that any traffic sent to http://127.0.0.1:8888 is automatically sent to a different port on the same machine. To set this configuration:
Start REGEDIT Create a new DWORD named ReverseProxyForPort inside HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Fiddler2. Set the DWORD to the local port you'd like to re-route inbound traffic to (generally port 80 for a standard HTTP server) Restart Fiddler Navigate your browser to http://127.0.0.1:8888

Try using UltiDev Cassini Web Server. I'v used it my self to create web services and its very good and stable.
Another (hacky) option would be to use sshd or other proxy to create a tunnel on the machine to the local port. But @Bob has it right - Cassini is designed for local access only.
