Can't access APEX server from another same network PC

Question

I have Oracle APEX 5.X installed over Oracle Express DB on windows 10 on a virtual machine.

I turned off all firewalls on the guest windows 10 VM and added all outbound and inbound rules to allow connecting to Oracle APEX port 8008.

I ran execute dbms_xdb.setListenerLocalAccess(l_access => FALSE); to allow accessing the APEX server over network instead of just localhost.

Now, What I'm able to do:

• I can ping the guest machine IP address (192.168.100.2) from other PCs on the network
• I can open Oracle APEX inside the guest machine 192.168.100.2:8080/apex

What I can't do:

• I can't open 192.168.100.2:8080/apex from any other PC in the same network. I get an error: This site can’t be reached

  192.168.100.2 refused to connect.

I searched for 5 hours now without any help.

Answer 1

Issue solved after connecting the laptop with the VM to a wired LAN connection instead of wireless.
