title: access sails app from any client
body: <p>I have a really strange problem. I have a sails app running on my local machine and want to access this application from another computer within the same network, but I get a timeout. </p>
  
  <p>not that I think that it should be necessary, but I even configured cors in <code>config/cors.js</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>allRoutes: true,
  origin: '*',
  credentials: true,
  methods: 'GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS, HEAD',
  headers: 'content-type'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My project is pretty empty, I just created a few models/controllers and thats it.</p>
  
  <p>I didn't find anything about this problem in their manual so I guess I must have done something wrong during my project setup. Has anyone an idea on how to fix this?</p>
  
  <p><strong>edit</strong>
  just to make sure I didn't do something completely wront I just created a new project</p>
  
  <pre><code>sails new foo
  cd foo
  sails lift
  </code></pre>

  <p>works from localhost, gets a timeout from any other host in the network</p>
