you need to call the application using the actual address of your computer on the network, whatever that is.
And even then it won't work unless your computer exposes the server to the outside world, which depends on things like firewall and router settings.

Thanks

i checked with pinging my machine from other machine using -ping 192.145.8.241 . It shows 'No device found' .

is there any other ways to do it.

no, there isn't. You need to configure your machine and/or the network for it to be visible from the other machine.
And that's not going to be happening by wishful thinking.
