Make XRero work for your whole team in five minutes.
A plain‑English walkthrough of what localhost means, how IP addresses work on your office Wi‑Fi, and how to share the right link with your team — without a single command line.
Wi‑Fi
What is localhost?
When you type http://localhost:8069 in your browser, you’re asking this same PC to show you XRero. The word literally means “this computer”. Only you, on this PC, see what loads.
localhost:8069 on his laptop, his browser asks his laptop for XRero — and fails, because XRero isn’t installed there. To let other PCs connect, we need a network address. That’s where the IP comes in.What is an IP address?
Every device on your office Wi‑Fi gets a unique number called an IP address, so other devices know how to reach it — like a phone extension inside an office building.
So when your team types http://192.168.1.42:8069, their browser says “please show me XRero from the PC at address 192.168.1.42 on this Wi‑Fi” — and your XRero PC answers. That’s the whole trick.
“Same Wi‑Fi” means same network
If you and your colleagues are all connected to the same office Wi‑Fi or the same office cable network, you’re on the same local network — and you can reach each other’s PCs by IP. That includes XRero.
Remote access from outside the office is possible but requires extra setup (HTTPS, a domain, VPN, or reverse proxy). Contact XRero support when you’re ready.
How to find your XRero address
The XRero installer detects your PC’s IP address automatically and writes the LAN URL into three places. You don’t need to run any commands.
Desktop shortcut
A clickable icon called XRero (LAN) on the PC’s desktop. Double‑click it — the LAN URL opens in the browser. Right‑click → Copy as link to share.
Desktop \ XRero (LAN).url
Server‑Info file
A plain‑text file with both the localhost URL and the LAN URL, ready to copy and paste into WhatsApp or email.
C:\ProgramData\XRero\
XRero-Server-Info.txt
Admin login file
Holds the admin username and the unique password generated at install time — with the LAN URL appended at the bottom.
C:\ProgramData\XRero\
ADMIN-PASSWORD.txt
