@Christopher_Rice you’ll also need to change your host config to listen on your computer’s IP address, or `0.0.0.0`, eg:

```json
{
    "url": "http://{your-ip}:2368",
    "server": {
        "host": "0.0.0.0",
        "port: 2368
    }
}

```

If you don’t do that then `node` will only listen on the local loopback interface (`127.0.0.1`) so any requests coming in from a different network interface like your wi-fi/network card won’t reach your Ghost process.
