Windows 7 doesn’t resolve hostname 0.0.0.0

[yuens1002]

hi there, all i get is the webpage is not available when i fire up static preview.... tried changing the default port and ip, but not working either. i'm sure it's something to do on my end. but i haven't been able to figure out. the machine is running on win7 64bit.

Hi @yuens1002,

thanks for reporting this issue. Unfortunately I’m not able to test this extension on a Windows machine.

Let’s look what could be the reason for this:

• Which version of Brackets do you use?
• Which version of Static Preview do you use?
• Is there a proxy installed on your system?
• Did you restart (not reload) Brackets after changing the preferences?
• Can you connect to localhost:3000 when you’re using the default settings?

According to this answer on superuser.com, Windows 7 doesn’t resolve 0.0.0.0. Change the default value to localhost should fix this issue. @yuens1002 Could you try this out?

yes, it worked! the thing is.... my goal with static view installed on
brackets is so that i can view/test the site i'm building using another
devices on the same network. i remember using "mixture" which had that
functionality baked in when i tested the software.

I’m glad that the issue could be fixed so easily, I’ll change the default hostname in one of the next releases.

Testing a site on multiple devices at the same time is the reason I created this extension. Just need a bit more research on how to implement livereload properly.
