Figure 1 liferay portal home page on the local machine

However, the Liferay portal can only use http: // 127.0.0.1: 8080 (or http: // localhost: 8080) for local access, rather than remote access. Assume that the IP address of the computer where the software bundle is located is 10.79.0.201, but another computer in the LAN cannot access this page, as shown in Figure 2:
