The "mysterious reason" is that we enhanced the security of
the notebook for local users. Namely, you now *must* do
sage -c "notebook(address='the.address.of.your.computer')"
in order to have the notebook listen on anything other than localhost.
In 2.10.2 and some earlier versions we temporarily had a *bug* that
made the notebook listen on all addresses by default. This is less
secure since people using the notebook locally are exposing themselves
to the possibility of somebody not logged into their computer attempting
to hack into the notebook. This behavior is documented a tiny bit
in the address section of "notebook?", though it's not very detailed!
address -- (default: 'localhost'), address to listen on
By the way, if you will have multiple untrusted users you should users
the accounts= option.
