Hello!

Nice to meet you, and thanks for reaching out. Could you please describe what exactly you are trying to achieve here? According to the screenshot, your hostname is `http://172.16.253.15:10002`. Could you elaborate on that, please?

If you’re trying to run things in a local network, you should execute one of the prepared bash scripts to generate the WASM module and the other helper files, compress them (optional), and put them into the correct folder.

There are already prepared commands for that purpose in the `web/satellite/package.json` file called `wasm` or `wasm-dev` (which skips the compression step). You can run one of those by executing, for example, `npm run wasm` or `npm run wasm-dev`. After running one of those commands, you’ll have all the needed files in place.

Thank you in advance!
