title: SignalR: Cannot connect to http://localhost:8080 self-hosted server using the full IP address
body: <p>I'm creating a Signal R self-hosted server using the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>internal class Config
  {
      internal static string serverurl = null;
      internal static Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.HubConfiguration hubconfiguration = null;
      internal static SignalRHub Hub { get; set; }
      internal static void StartServer()
      {
          serverurl = "http://localhost:8080";
          // In this method, a web application of type Startup is started at the specified URL (http://localhost:8080). 
          {
              Microsoft.Owin.Hosting.WebApp.Start&lt;Startup&gt;(serverurl);
              Log.AddMessage("Server running on " + serverurl); 
          }
          catch(Exception ex)
          {
              Log.AddMessage("An error occurred when starting Server: " + ex);
          }
      }
  }
  
  class Startup
  {
      // the class containing the configuration for the SignalR server 
      // (the only configuration is the call to UseCors), 
      // and the call to MapSignalR, which creates routes for any Hub objects in the project.
      public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
      {
          try
          {
              app.UseCors(CorsOptions.AllowAll);
              // Enable detailed errors when an exception occures
              Config.hubconfiguration = new HubConfiguration();
              Config.hubconfiguration.EnableDetailedErrors = true;
  
              app.MapSignalR("/signalr", Config.hubconfiguration);
          }
          catch(Exception ex)
          {
              Log.AddMessage("An error occurred during server configuration: " + ex.Message);
          }
      }
  }

  <p>I also created some client applications connecting to this SignalR server via a hub, and everything is working fine when I'm testing on my local computer.</p>
  
  <p>But when I try to connect to the server using the domain computer IP address or the computer name instead of <code>http://localhost:8080</code> (from another computer of the domain network or even from my local computer), I'm getting an error as the server cannot be found.</p>
  
  <p>Can you please help me to connect to my SignalR server using the IP address instead of "localhost"?</p>
