Connect from 2nd computer to app on first computer
0
On my first computer I have my app running locally and I want to connect to that app from my 2nd computer, which is on the same wifi-network. The ip-addres of my first computer is, let say 1.2.3.4. The app is running on port 8087. Now: How to make a browser on the second computer get connection to 1.2.3.4:8087 and access the app on the first? I have made sure that the wifi-network is set to ‘private’, so no trust-issues there. I have switched off my firewall on the first computer. On the second computer ‘ping 1.2.3.4’ get replies instantly. On the first computer ‘netstat -ano|findstr 8087’ shows TCP 0.0.0.0:8087 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING 22620 TCP 127.0.0.1:8087 127.0.0.1:50222 ESTABLISHED 22620 TCP 127.0.0.1:50222 127.0.0.1:8087 ESTABLISHED 19036 TCP 1.2.3.4:8087 1.2.3.4:50306 ESTABLISHED 22620 TCP 1.2.3.4:50306 1.2.3.4:8087 ESTABLISHED 6300 How to find out who or what is blocking access for the 2nd computer to port 8087 on the first computer?

Are the Java / OpenJDK platform binaries allowed in the ‘allow an app through Windows Firewall’ settings? Could be that you have to manually allow these if not allowed before.
