I wasn't thinking of IP addresses - - - rather I was thinking of something
like example.com but not that. Trying to come up with something so
that if machine 1 has the server program that machine 2 can access
machine1 just by using machine1 in the browser. So far I've only
found example.com and I'd rather not use that. I likely asked the question
poorly but also didn't have any idea how to better phrase the ask - - -sorry.
Thanks for the ideas though!
