<p>I am running minikube on Windows. I am starting a pod and NodePort like this:</p>
<pre><code>minikube start
kubectl apply -f pod.yml
kubectl apply -f service.yml
kubectl port-forward service/sample-web-service 31111:80
</code></pre>
<p>At this point, I can access my sample web service in a browser using:</p>
<pre><code>localhost:31111
</code></pre>
<p>and</p>
<pre><code>127.0.0.1:31111
</code></pre>
<p>Note, I get no response trying to access the service using the ip returned by <code>minikube ip</code> described here:</p>
<p><a href="https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/accessing/#getting-the-nodeport-using-kubectl" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/handbook/accessing/#getting-the-nodeport-using-kubectl</a></p>
<p>Is it possible to also access my sample web service using a qualified hostname (i.e. the <code>Full Computer Name</code> found in <code>Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System</code>)? I tried the following in a browser but didn't get a response:</p>
<pre><code>my-windows-pc-name.mydomain.com:31111
</code></pre>
<p>I am on a VPN and tried turning it off but to no avail.</p>

rmf
<pre><code>kubectl port-forward service/sample-web-service --address 0.0.0.0 31111:80
</code></pre>
