I’m guessing your http port is blocked.

It will work on localhost & 127.0.0.1 because the request doesn’t leave your PC, a loopback of sorts.

When you type 192.*.., the request will go to the router, then back, and it seems, get denied.

Check your firewall.

Btw masking your internal IP is kinda pointless. It is a private IP we can’t access it.

192.168.1.x is a very commonly range used for home networks.

i just wanna access couple of files across LAN using the ip adress instead of localhost.
