If I read your issue correctly, the server is pointing to <a href="https://hostname:8333/ui/" rel="ugc">https://hostname:8333/ui/</a>.<br />
Change the name to <a href="https://youractualcomputername:8333/ui/" rel="ugc">https://youractualcomputername:8333/ui/</a>&nbsp;or <a href="https://your.ip.address:8333/ui/" rel="ugc">https://your.ip.address:8333/ui/</a><br />
<br />
I am not certain if you meant hostname figuratively or actually.<br />
<br />
Also, check your firewall settings. &nbsp;Turn it off to verify if you want a quick test.

<div>
You could try using ...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://localhost:8333/ui/" rel="ugc">https://localhost:8333/ui/</a><br />
<br />
or<br />
<br />
<a href="https://127.0.0.1:8333/ui/" rel="ugc">https://127.0.0.1:8333/ui/</a><br />

VM ware

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
