xampp

Hi

I want to create an iPhone app which makes calls to a web service. For testing, I want to first create the API calls on my mac (server running XAMPP) and if it works fine there I want to port it to the actual server.

If my iPhone and mac are on the same network, can I access the web service using the IP address of my mac?

Thanks.
