192.168.1.72:8080 as Bob told me from the other computer, firefox tries to connect but is unable to do so.

Birthe,
ping 192.168.1.72
curl 192.168.1.72:8080
I assume you were using 0.0.0.0 rather than o.o.o.o ?
Jed
Now you point out the ones that are auto populated it all makes sense.
Perhaps it is important to say 0.0.0.0 or a local ip address on the server not 127.0.0.1 will make bob visible on the network.

I do not know why there is an IP address for the one that isn't used.
So try connecting to 192.168.1.54:8080, that should be the correct one.
The address may change in the future or on different WiFi networks, so here is a quick exploitation so you can find the correct address until I find a way to have bob do it automatically.
The output of ifconfig gave 4 entries, the first two aren't important here, the two that start with w are the two wireless interfaces.
The second line for the last two groups each of the two groups for the wireless interfaces start with 'inet' followed by an IP address. Those are the addresses for each wireless interface. In the future if one doesn't work try the otherone.
Hopefully that lets you connect until I find a better solution.
ping 192.168.1.72
Is there a network administrator around you can speak to? Without going into too much detail on network configuration, there are ways and methods that may make inter computer communications difficult. In some environments served well by servers and internet connections things can be configured to discourage individual devices being able to act as servers. It may be worth asking.

Actualy trying to establish how to make bob operate with standard nodejs server functions is nothing like star wars. I want to help Jed and others make use of bob which is a revolutionary addition to tiddlywiki.
Perhaps if Jed felt comfortable doing imperfect brain dumps in gg others will have access to the details and we can publish "how to"s that Jed can add to his documentation.
Missing information is my problem, but Jed wants to avoid complicating the documention by simplifying it. I am trying to respectfully suggest a different approach would help, me and others contribute.
I believe bob is underutilized but deserves much more attention, we need to close some gaps.
And yes I am nerviouse about raising this in the most fair way I can.
Regards
Tony
I tried to give you a pointer to help you do exactly what you wanted to do. I can't help it that you don't understand what I am saying.
I can't help it that when I try and do what you say bob can do, I find it hard to follow your instructions and that if you gave a little more info I can help support you and bobs adoption. I am not having difficulty with other parts of tiddlywiki except bob, given I am a super user I am not sure how people with less skill will be able to use bob beyond a simple set of instructions and thus not make use of its great features.
Any way I have tried to comminicate, that's all I could do.
Thanks for your contribution never the less.
Regards
Tony
