[FIXED] How can I test a website being developed locally from remote device (like an iPhone)?

Issue

I am developing a new WordPress theme and am doing this locally on my laptop using MAMP. On my laptop I can access the site at localhost:8800.

Is there a way I can visit this localhost site from my iPhone? I'd like to see what the theme looks like on mobile devices rather than just resizing my browser. Could this work if I make an ad hoc WiFi network between the two?

Solution

try the link How do you access a website running on localhost from iPhone browser here is the something you might be looking for.

or if you want to test your site on different devices http://quirktools.com/screenfly/ this link might be helpful ;)
