I’m running VS2019 community, and I’ve created the default ASP.NET Core Web API project (ASP.NET Core 5.0), the one with the simple weather forecast example. And I am now trying to connect another computer to the URL. I run the example by using the [application name] in the run dropdown, and not IIS Express.
Both computers are connected via wifi to the same Router.
I do an ipconfig on the server machine to get it’s IP (192.168.1.108)
And I have also enabled inbound connections from the ports 5000-5001 in the windows firewall setup
On the “client” machine I try to access the server with :
http://192.168.1.108:5000/swagger/index.html
or
https://192.168.1.108:5001/swagger/index.html
but neither seem to work? The page ends up timing out.
So on the machine running the server, I also completely disabled the windows firewalls (temporally, just to get things working).
But still get the same result?
Have I missed a step?

Method 1
Maybe this will help you. Try to add IP of your host into Program.cs
var host = new WebHostBuilder().UseUrls("http://192.168.1.108:5000")
