you have to take your ip address from the node + port server otherwise you can turn off the firewall and retest – Souhail HARRATI Jan 11 '22 at 17:56

you know what im confused from? im confused from that the other computer's ip is not same as this computer's ip that i created the server on it when i connected both of them to 1 wifi – alireza Jan 11 '22 at 17:58
Get your current ip address in the network by typing ipconfig in the cmd if you are a windows user, then from the other computer: ip:port – Sherif Wael Jan 11 '22 at 18:06

I've same issue before and I fixed by this way: 1- Use IP address instead localhost e.g:192.168.1.100 2- use right protocol: "http" or "https" – Hossein Shourabi Jan 11 '22 at 18:15

I don't mean to be... well, mean, but if you are confused by 2 machines not having the same IP on the same network, you should begin by studying a bit of networking before trying to create a web application. If you struggle with localhost, it's gonna be a real nightmare when the production stuff will come. – Gaëtan Boyals Jan 11 '22 at 18:18

Many use the "ngrok" service for letting another computer on the internet access the development server. Another common way is to develop in a cloud environment like glitch.com, where each project start with a url to access the server. – Rikku Jan 11 '22 at 21:18
