   Hi,   
      
   The answer to your question in the subject is a simple 'no'.

   I totally see your point.

   That's much easier than you may think: Usually you'll have a hard time to   
   make a local web server accessible from the outside. So when you do nothing   
   to explicitly reach that goal then your web server is typically only   
   accessible from the inside. And this is exactly what you want.   
      
   Just enter the bare IPv4 address of the machine running the web server in   
   the URL field of the Contiki web browser.   
      
   Regards,   
   Oliver
