# I right clicked on my desktop (you may need to right click ''on the windows symbol at bottom left''), selected '''command prompt as administrator''' that opened a command window where I typed
netsh http add urlacl url=http://*:8998/ user=\users
to allow all users to bind to port 8998 (i.e. that used for the Cumulus interface). This also means you don't have to run the engine (CumulusMX.exe) in an administrator user, nor select "Run as administrator" from right click menu on the shortcut.
Finally, I viewed my hub (router) to see the IPv4 address allocated to my Cumulus MX computer (192.168.1.64), that told me that I would find the user interface by typing "http://192.168.1.64:8998/" into my browser while the MX engine command window remains open (so MX is actually running), so I typed that and I saw the user interface and navigated around it
IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't use "localhost" for two reasons, first I already have a web server on my PC using "localhost", and second using the IPv4 version address as a bookmark, I can view the Cumulus user interface on my mobile phone which shares bookmarks with my PC and connects to my LAN via wifi.
When I am happy to stop using MX, I type '''Control + C''' into that MX command window on my PC and MX closes.
