Subject: Having trouble using Chrome to access an IP address? Any fixes?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trying to connect to a local device by using Chrome to access an IP address, but it keeps timing out or saying "site can’t be reached."

Anyone else run into this? I’ve tried:
- Typing `http://` before the IP (some say Chrome needs it)
- Disabling extensions temporarily
- Checking firewall settings

Still no luck. Is there a trick to using Chrome to access an IP address directly? Or is this a known issue?

Thanks in advance!

(Also, sorry if this has been asked before—searched but didn’t find a clear answer.)
