title: how to reach the computer address from android device
body: <p>I have installed android development environment on VirtualBox Windows 7</p>
  
  <p>There, i also installed xampp with apache tomcat</p>
  
  <p>I deployed a servlet installation to the tomcat folder, accessible by http:// localhost :8080 via the browser in the virtualbox</p>
  
  <p>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</p>
  
  <p>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)</p>
  
  <p>what would be the correct address i need to send the request to ?</p>
