Both.

I thought the same thing and tried, but the web page is not available. 
Could that indicate a misconfigured firewall somewhere? (I'm really 
getting out of my league when it comes to firewalls and networking. I 
have succeeded in setting the network up, and have even done some 
port-forwarding and tunneling, but do not understand what I have done! I 
just research and follow instructions and try until it works. I'm 
remedial when it comes to this stuff.)
