Since the server is running on your laptop, it would be it's IP address that you need. You didn't mention whether your laptop was windows or mac. I know nothing of macs, but here's a link to several methods for finding your IP:
https://www.wikihow.com/Find-Your-IP-Address-on-a-Mac If you're on windows, just open a command shell and type ipconfig. Look for the line that says "IPv4". According to tiddlywiki.com (https://tiddlywiki.com/#ServerCommand) you need to change the options part of your node.js invocation to: --server 8080 $:/core/save/all text/plain text/html "" "" 192.168.0.245 where 192.168.0.245 gets substituted with your laptop's actual IP of course. But tiddlywiki on plain.js doesn't serve images, and the browser will absolutely refuse to let you access the local images while viewing as a localhost web page. So, you might want to try Jed's Bob server or Arlen's tiddly-server. Each one has a different way of configuring for an image (files) directory. Assuming your images lived somewhere on a relative path to your TW instance, then once you know your IP and the virtual file path then you can change the base path for your <<ximg>> to something like "http://192.168.1.114:8080/files/"; .
