Accessing device farm from client machine not working

[sohambbh]

Hallo community, i need a help.

Recently we came across device farm plugin and we were doing a poc with it. Till now we were working with selenium grid and wants to explore the options.

My command
appium server -ka 800 --use-plugins=device-farm -pa /wd/hub --plugin-device-farm-platform=ios --address x.xx.xx.xx --port 4723

We have a mac connected in LAN. We are starting the device farm there and assigning host and port through command or config. After that we are able to see the device farm running in the same MAC with safari browser http://x.xx.xx.xx:4723/device-farm. But if we want to connect the address http://x.xx.xx.xx:4723/device-farm from another machine connected in LAN its not accessible.

Please note: Connection is already there. We are able to run a grid in the same MAC with http://x.xx.xx.xx:4444 and that is accessible from all the machines connected in LAN.

Can anyone help me regarding this topic, is there any special things we need take care.

Hallo, we are able to solve the problem. Root cause was in the MAC server machine's node.js was blocking the access. We installed everything from scratch including npm and it worked.
