I am trying to let other computers to access my local server but I tried myself locally that I cannot access it locally even myself.
Several things you should know:
My target
Visit my server via http://172.26.141.106:5201/
What I can do now
I can access my server via these two ways:
IP configuration
Result of ifconfig | grep inet
inet addr:172.17.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet addr:172.26.141.106 Bcast:172.26.141.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::f767:cd56:9641:d3a9/64 Scope:Link
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
Hosts
Output of cat /etc/hosts
:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1 hearen.pc
127.0.0.1 hearen-OptiPlex-7050
127.0.0.1 staging
127.0.0.1 arthas
172.26.141.106 localhost hearen.pc
Firewall
$ sudo ufw disable
Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup
$ sudo ufw status
Status: inactive
Is there some way that I missed out? All I want is to let others access my server via http://172.26.141.106:5201/
Any help will be appreciated 🙂

With the help of @Ed King, I check the ports via sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN | grep 5201
and only 127.0.0.1
was listenned on.
Problem solved after I configured my Angular server to listen on 0.0.0.0
.

Check that your server is listening:
You can also check the route using nc. Start nc on the server listening on an unused port and then connect from another machine -- this will verify iptables and routes are correct.
My guess is that you're listening on the localhost only.
