By default, the Django development server does not allow hosts to connect unless it is localhost (127.0.0.1) or a local IP (192.168.1.101 in your case).
Doing this is a *bad idea*, as indicated by the docs - http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/django-admin/#djadmin-runserver If you really do want to override it, start the server like this - python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 That tells the dev server to accept any IP. If I were you, I'd just set up IIS/Apache. There's no advantage of accessing your dev server from elsewhere anyway, because you can't see the debug messages.
