It makes sense that the dev server won't listen to other requests. The
question is then, how to I explicitly specify which address(es) that I want
the dev server to listen on?
My ipconfig is;
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : mydomainhere.com
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.117
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
c:\DjangoProjects\FiscalCalendar>
I'm sorry to be bothering everyone. I've tried searching but I don't know
what they call that feature so I don't know what to search for.

It's defined for you in zope.conf but you can change it to listen only
on localhost, a specific interface, or all interfaces.

The dev server is only meant for development use so the default is to
have it listen only to requests from localhost, not from any other host.
You have to explicitly specify which address(es) you want the dev server
to listen on if you want anything else.
