Report Access to ASP.NET Development Port

Since it's not always possible to install all browsers on a development system for testing web applications durng debugging, the port can be redirected so that the application can be launched in debug mode and then accessed from a different computer.

Download the Soap Toolkit 3.0 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13456
and install the trace utility.

Run the Trace Utility and select FileNewFormatted Trace. Change the destination port to the port defined by ASP.NET. Run the application, and from the other browser, use the url like "http://111.22.33.44:8080/Home.aspx/Index"
