ERPNext

Hello everyone,
I have installed Erpnext 14 on my Windows11 (Ubuntu 22), It’s working totally fine.
The url to access the site is 127.**.. :8000 (i guess it’s my local machine address)
Now i want to access the same site on another computer and I’m on a same wifi connection too.
Please help and share the steps if possible.

Thank You

Hi @rs115199789:

I assume you are using WSL or WSL2, right? See this.

Thanks for the reply, and yes im using the WSL, but im looking for a clear step by step instruction video as the website is not clear to me and i indeed tried the steps.
If possible do share Thanks Again.

Just this:

PowerShellCopy

netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=4000 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=4000 connectaddress=192.168.101.100

To obtain the IP address, use:

  • wsl hostname -I for the IP address of your Linux distribution installed via WSL 2 (the WSL 2 VM address)
  • cat /etc/resolv.conf for the IP address of the Windows machine as seen from WSL 2 (the WSL 2 VM)

Using listenaddress=0.0.0.0 will listen on all IPv4 ports.

Anyway … for this cases I use my hidden tool: Google. :wink:

Hi, @avc
I tried and its forwarded successfully, However when i try to open the erp server (172.61.**.*) on another computer within the same lan it’s not opening it, also when i try to do the port forward on my router it says Error code: 4937
The IP address is not on the same subnet with LAN IP address.
Please help .
Thanks

Hi @rs115199789:

If you are in the same network, no port forwarding is needed on your router …
Please, share your scenario with detailed network configuration: host ip address, wsl address, local network ip address …

I use this address to access the ERP- http://172.22.61.10

Looking forward for the solution Thank you
