Accessing my VMware Ubuntu client through Wi-Fi network

Question

I am trying to connect to my client VM through my home network but I am not able to do so. Hopefully I am able to explain my situation - it is way out of my field. :/ The client runs Ember-cli server.

Through the Virtual Network Editor and NAT settings, I am able to expose the client's Ember port (4200) to the same port of my Host. So hitting localhost:4200 shows the ember application.

My host is ethernet-connected to the router and has an ip 192.168.1.110 which I can access through the Wi-Fi network. What I am trying to achieve is hitting 192.168.1.110:4200 through the Wi-Fi network and exposing the Ember application.

I am not sure if what I want to achieve has to do with my router's forwarding, with VMWare settings, or anything else. :/

Edit: Host is running Windows 10.

In forwarding rules you should use ip of your VM and from other devices IP of your PC — Gennady Dogaev, Nov 26 '17 at 01:17

You can try ping 192.168.1.110 from your machine where you installed, if it's reachable then you should not be having any problem with accessing http://192.168.1.110:4200.

For testing purpose, you can turn off the firewall settings. – Ember Freak Nov 20 '17 at 14:10
