How to access my MediaWiki from another computer?

I feel like this is a really stupid question, but I natively installed the BitNami MediaWiki Stack and can't figure out how to access it from a machine other than the local. I was under the impression that the stack included a hosting service? I'm admittedly a coding novice, and frankly lost in all the jargon on the help pages.

You can access from other machines in your network using the machine IP address where you installed Mediawiki. If you have installed on Windows you can type "ipconfig" in a command prompt to get your IP address. Then you can access from any other computer in your local network at http://your_machine_ip

Got it! Turns out I had misidentified my IP. Thank you!
