"localhost" is not a valid address for the clients to use. Localhost is a self-reference address.
If you are not able to connect with the server's LAN IP, which is not sensitive so you don't need to censor it, then that usually indicates that Jellyfin is not allowed through your firewall.
You should have seen a prompt during the install to allow Jellyfin through the Windows firewall. If you saw it and allowed it, but still can't access Jellyfin from external hosts, you need to ensure that your NIC is set to private.
