How do you connect to a remote on prem service fabric?

Question

I installed a local Service Fabric cluster on a Shared Dev' PC, I was hoping to be able to use this environment for debugging and initial deployments for multiple team members.

However I can not seem to connect to this cluster from a remote PC, only locally.

I was wondering what I need to do to enable connection from within Visual Studio if possible, or from a browser?

I have opened the firewall up so it's not a port issue.

If I try to connect using the browser URL: http://ComputerName:19080/Explorer/index.html

I get the following error:

SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I had the same situation, but only when I was entering Service Fabric Explorer for the first time. After a few trials in a period of about 30 minutes it started working, so I guess apart from cluster orchestration it needs some time to setup explorer.
