Hi all. After faithfully following an article called "How to connect to a local web service from the Windows Phone 8 emulator" right here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/jj684580%28v=vs.105%29.aspx[^],

and running the application. After a short while,

I can see the application is installed on the phone, pauses for a noticeable amount of time (maybe), the throws the exception:

C#

I have been at this problem for weeks now and nothing seems to fix this solution. I have tried when the Windows Firewall is Off, When the Anti-Virus is not running. I am using an actual device for testing as my computer cannot run an emulator due to lack of HW Virtualization. It is running on Windows 8.0 64bit, and i am using Visual Studio 2013. Please assist me solve this problem for it is driving me crazy.
