          @sdetweil If u want to SEE/view it on the tablet (which might have a browser)

          in the base system config.js

          address:"0.0.0.0",
          ipWhitelist:[]
          

          then open the tablet browser to the ip of the base and port

          http://ip_address:8080

            @sdetweil Yes, it’s a Windows 10 laptop with a detachable screen that becomes a tablet basically.
            “Runs fine” = On the laptop, using Git Bash, I can start the MM2 normally with “npm start”.
            “Run it remotely” = The MM2 running on the tablet part of the laptop will sit in the kitchen (no keyboard or mouse). I want to manage it from my desktop in my office using Git Bash ssh connection.

            The laptop came with Edge, but I’ve been using Chrome.

            http://192.168.1.65:8080 fails

            http://localhost:8080 works

                  so, that looks like the address/ipWhitelist setting above…
                  (by default MM thinks it is in a closed box on the wall, so only allows connections from INSIDE the box)

                      but I don’t understand this…

                      with the change to the start script, it runs in windows without bash… just regular windows batch
                      (cmd/powershell)
