how does a Jira user access the Jira server

[Jianlei]

I installed Jira software in one of my computer, which is used as the Jira server. In this computer, I used the Jira administrator account to create an example project and and  create a Jira user account. then I want to use this user account to log the this project in another computer. I tried to use "http://localhost:8080" in browser but failed to connect. So my doubt is how should I access the server from other computers with user account.

Hi @Jianlei , 

When you are attempting to access the JIRA instance from other computers, you will not be able to access through http://localhost:8080 in browser, you need to use the IP address of the server on which the JIRA is installed. i.e 

http://<ipaddress>:8080

Eg:-

http://192.168.0.1:8080

Thanks,

Kiran

Hello,

You should check that firewalls on your computer with Jira do not block access to Jira.
