Access laptop from iPad

Andrew, 127.0.0.1 is a special address also known as localhost and refers only to the computer you are currently using, in other words it is the computers internal address for itself. so if you use 127.0.0.1 or localhost from any other computer , it also will just be looking at itself. If you want to be able to access your laptop form other devices in your network then you need to use the NAT address that is assigned by your router, this is usually in the format 192.168.0.x, however this address will usually change every time you turn on your laptop, so you will need to go into your router interface and create a fixed address for your laptop so it doesn't change, you will need to refer to your router documentation for details how to do this. To find your machines current NAT address just open command prompt and type ipconfig, hit return, and look for the IPv4 address of your wireless lan adaptor.
