I have installed android development environment on VirtualBox Windows 7

There, i also installed xampp with apache tomcat

I deployed a servlet installation to the tomcat folder, accessible by http:// localhost :8080 via the browser in the virtualbox

now I want to send an http request to this servlet, however i am having connection timeout errors, which means the url that i am trying is incorrect

note that http:// 10.0.2.2:8080/ didnt work and neither did http:// 10.0.2.15:8080 or http:// 192.168.16.1:8080 (which is the ip address ipconfig gave me)

what would be the correct address i need to send the request to ?

is the android connected to the same LAN? Did you try to deactivate your firewall? – wutzebaer Sep 08 '13 at 21:44
i disabled the firewall, still didn't help, i disabled the lan as well, and that didn't help as well – Lena Bru Sep 08 '13 at 22:01
