I’m trying to access my server on localhost:8000 from my LAN network using my physical IP address: 192.168.1.5:8000 but it’s saying 192.168.1.5 refused to connect.
The django server has already
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']
And the IP is correct (got it from ipconfig)
My network is set on Private on both computers by the way I can’t access that from my own computer too.
I’m not using a VPN
The firewalls are all disabled.
I even allowed the port 8000 using the rule in Inbound rules.
I tried this but didn’t work
netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="TCP Port 8000" dir=in localport=8000 protocol=TCP action=allow
I’m out of ideas, I’m confused. I used to do it before, I’m not a begginer.
>Solution :
Run below command to start your django server on IP.
python manage.py runserver 192.168.1.5:8000
