Accessing a asp.net web service through android emulator

Hi all,

I'm creating a simple android application which talks to an asp.net web service hosted on my local machine's IIS server. I'm trying to access the web service using the ip "127.0.0.1".
Though no compile time error, my code throws a run time error "java.net.SocketTimeoutException". I tried debugging my code but can't really trace what exactly is wrong. Please help me out with it.

My web service connects to DB and pulls out the name for the id passed. I tested the Web service in browser it works fine.

Also there is a question.
1.) Can we connect to a web service hosted in localhost IIS server?

Below is my MainActivity.java code. Please can anyone check on it and provide me a solution or hint to move ahead. I googled almost for 13 days now but didn't worked for me. Help is really appreciated and thanks in advance
