+# How to Access from Windows
+
+## The Problem
+
+When you type "localhost" in Firefox on Windows, you're accessing WINDOWS' localhost, not the Linux server!
+
+The Linux server has NO website on port 80 (it's completely deleted).
+
+## The Solution
+
+### Option 1: Use Port 5000 (Recommended for Development)
+```
+http://localhost:5000/
+```
+
+### Option 2: Use the Server's IP Address
+```
+http://192.168.10.130:5000/
+```
+
+### Option 3: Setup Port Forwarding (If you really want port 80)
+
+On Windows, open PowerShell as Administrator and run:
+```powershell
+netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=80 listenaddress=0.0.0.0 connectport=5000 connectaddress=192.168.10.130
+```
+
+Then you can use:
+```
+http://localhost/
+```
+
+To remove it later:
+```powershell
+netsh interface portproxy delete v4tov4 listenport=80 listenaddress=0.0.0.0
+```
+
+## Why This Happens
+
+- **Windows**: Has its own "localhost" (127.0.0.1)
+- **Linux Server**: Different machine at 192.168.10.130
+- **Firefox on Windows**: Looks at Windows localhost, not Linux
+
+## Correct URLs
+
+### ✅ CORRECT:
+- `http://localhost:5000/` (Windows forwards to Linux)
+- `http://192.168.10.130:5000/` (Direct to Linux)
+
+### ❌ WRONG:
+- `http://localhost/` (This is Windows localhost, not Linux!)
+- `http://localhost:80/` (Same problem)
+
+## Quick Test
+
+Open Firefox and try BOTH:
+1. `http://localhost:5000/` - Should work
+2. `http://192.168.10.130:5000/` - Should work
+
+If neither works, there might be a firewall blocking port 5000.
