Access localhost:8000 ERPNext from another computer on the same network

ERPNext

I have 2 pc’s that are on the same network and i’d like to access the hosting computer from the other pc. ERPNext works on the localhost:8000 on the hosting device. Opening ports 8000 in hosting pc doesn’t work and the connection is refused

Hi,

May we know the OS and type of installation, manual, docker etc or if hosted on a virtual machine? How is the port being opened?

Hi,
The hosting computer is a Windows 10 running WSL with Ubuntu Linux with Frappe and ERPNext installed, with its dependencies. I’m trying to open the port 8000 through Windows Firewall but I still can’t connect through…
Also, do you have any idea if I could connect through Hamachi on different networks?

Not familiar with WSL or Hamachi. Is there a Ubuntu firewall that needs to be dealt with as well?

I havent done anything with ubuntu’s firewall. anything i could do?

Maybe this will help, it appears there are some steps needed to expose the WSL instance to the LAN.
