I'm running a web app on port 8000 on my Mac. My mac's internal IP is 192.168.0.6. I can reach this web app using localhost:8000 and 192.168.0.6:8000
If I set up port forwarding on my router, forwarding all requests on port 80 to port 8000 on my Mac (192.168.0.6:8000), I can still reach the website using my public IP.
However, if I try to reach the website using my mac's internal IP on port 8000
(192.168.0.6:8000
) from another computer on my local network (another Mac or iPad), I don't see the desired result and eventually the connection just times out.
I have an arris router at home.
What could be the issue here?
