Here's the problem - No Private network when connected via Bridge Mode due to client network settings.
The goal is to disable ipv6 and enable ipv4, gain a 192.168.1.* address from the local network DHCP server.
Once Complete, I will my port forwarding rules will activate and allow external access to the webserver via http://localhost:8080/ on the host's local web browser.
Solution:
Modify: /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6 = 1 net.ipv6.conf.default.disable_ipv6 = 1
then restart your network adapter
