Cannot Access Local App Server On Port 8080

I'm trying to develop and test a website from my iPad. I have my laptop and iPad on same local network, 192.168.1.xThey can see each other over network and I can access the page:192.168.1.105:80 (my laptops local web server) from both iPad and laptop. However the application server runs on port 8080 and I cannot access this from either device/machine. the router's firewall is playing a role, and I have no software firewall running on laptop that I'm aware of (turned off windows 7 firewall).localhost:8080/myWebSite or 127.0.0.1 also works on port 8080.The only combo that does not work is 192.168.1.105 with port 8080. I need this so the iPad can hit the site so I can test locally while developing.
