 needs to be the IP address of the VM, not the Windows Machine. Hence, you need to find the address of the docker machine running the container.

 Here are instructions to set up TensorFlow dev environment on Docker if you are running Windows, and configure it so that you can access Jupyter Notebook from within the VM + edit files in your text editor of choice on your Windows machine.
 
+## Installation
 First, install

+Since this is Windows, creating the Docker group "docker" is not necessary.

+## Launching TensorFlow
 Open up "Docker Quickstart Terminal". It should bring up a MinGW-type shell.
