Answer 1

You can specify the port you want Jupyter to run uncommenting/editing the following line in ~/.jupyter/jupyter_notebook_config.py:

#c.NotebookApp.port = 8888

In case you don't have a jupyter_notebook_config.py try running jupyter notebook --generate-config. See this for further details on Jupyter configuration.

In case you are accessing Jupyter at a remote machine you can also try just leaving Jupyter running at its default port and make an SSH tunnel to your local machine at the port you want, e.g.:

ssh -fNL <new port>:localhost:8888 <your ssh config>

Answer 2

Run the Anaconda Prompt, generate the config file, if you don't have it and edit the config file and change c.NotebookApp.ip with your IP Adress '192.1xx.x.x'

On Anaconda Prompt: If the file not exist, generate a config file:

    jupyter notebook --generate-config

Output:

    (base) C:\Users\youruser>jupyter notebook --generate-config
    Writing default config to: C:\Users\youruser\.jupyter\jupyter_notebook_config.py
    (base) C:\Users\youruser>

Change to jupyter directory:

    cd .jupyter

Modify the config file from:

    ## The IP address the notebook server will listen on.
    #c.NotebookApp.ip = 'localhost'

To:

    ## The IP address the notebook server will listen on.
    c.NotebookApp.ip = '192.1xx.x.x'
