[Koha] Cataloging question - Electronic resource with no link (MARC21)

[C.S. Hayward]

127.0.0.1 is a loopback address that will address your computer as if it were something else. If it only works from the computer you’re on, that is to be expected. Find the IP of the server and use that IP to replace 127.0.0.1. Note that this may only work from within your local network.
