Hello everyone.
The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.
There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.
The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.
For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.
If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.
And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

No, the default address is localhost which would work if you are running the server locally. Usually, you need to change that to the address that the server displays when you run it.
If you are using the HoloToolit menu in Unity, and the sharing service is not running, make sure you have imported all the files from Holotoolkit properly. The menu command looks for the server executable in this path
External/HoloToolkit/Sharing/Server. You need to ensure that that exists in your app. See the Holotoolkit-Unity github page.Toronto-HoloLens | Blog | @alexdrenea
Will keeping it to localhost work if there are multiple hololens? instead of computer + hololens... Is there a way for the IP to be discovered at runtime or does it have to be hardcoded in?
is there a way to have this address not keep changing every time the IP changes on the server computer?
there is work in progress on the HoloToolkit-Unity and the HoloToolkit sharing services to implement server auto-discovery on the network. Keep an eye out on those repos.
