Did you try to run it on a different machine? And what? Did you face a problem?
If yes, what's the problem? If not (or not yet) -- why asking a question?

Solution 1

So what? Change server endpoint address to real server address and enjoy it.

Solution 3

Use the machine's IP address instead of localhost in the endpoint. That should do it.
