I have a Tomcat 7.0 server running on my PC, I access the servlet via Emulator through Url

http://10.0.2.2:8084/MyServer

I am struggling with this for few hours now. I have understood the following steps to achieve this

  1. I need to have a Static IP address? So I am using No-IP Free to covert dynamic IP (I have a dial-up connection) to Static IP.

  2. I need to change the firewall rules in Windows 7. I tried changing Inbound Rules for 'port 8084', but it did not work.

My Question is how to access the same server on my PC via a real Android device having GPRS connection?

Thanks so much.

    Firewall rules on your Windows PC and wired/wireless router will both need to allow incoming connections to port 8084.

    On the router, set up incoming connections to 8084 to redirect to your Windows PC’s local IP address (127.0.0.1). This is called “port forwarding” – look into your router’s manual on how to do it.

    Once your router forwards incoming port 8084 requests to your Windows machine, you can access it from the outside:
