By default, Toaster binds to the loop back address
(i.e. localhost).
You can use the <filename>WEBPORT</filename> parameter to
set a different host.
For example, the following command sets the host and port
to "0.0.0.0:8400":
(i.e. localhost), which does not allow access from
external hosts. To allow external access, use the
<filename>WEBPORT</filename> parameter to open an
address that connects to the network, specifically the
IP address that your NIC uses to connect to the network.
You can also bind to all IP addresses the computer
supports by using the shortcut
"0.0.0.0:<replaceable>port</replaceable>".

The following example binds to all IP addresses on the
host:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ source toaster start webport=0.0.0.0:8400
</literallayout>
This example binds to a specific IP address on the host's
NIC:
<literallayout class='monospaced'>
$ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.1:8400
</literallayout>
