Answer 1

You need to access from your smartphone via the IP address of your computer on the local network.

To find your computer’s IP address, open the Start menu and browse the menu Todos os programas > Acessórios > Prompt de Comando. Open Command Propmpt and type ipconfig and press Enter. This command will result in your IP address settings. Now, in the result displayed in Command Prompt look for the line that contains Endereço IPv4 the value in sequence is your IP address.

Example:

C:\Users\william.urbano>ipconfig
