no it's not. 127.0.0.1 a.k.a localhost a.k.a ::1 are all loopback addresses (meaning they point to itself - this computer).. running the ipconfig in cmd will give you your local address (very often it is a 192.168.x.x), which is accessible from all devices in the same network.
the 'outiside' address or WAN address is a public IP, usually given by your ISP, and it represents your computer on the world wide web.
there is no need to add a public IP on local network (yes, wifi is also local network).
ontopic:
you should get your local ip by running start -> cmd -> ipconfig, and tell this ip to your friend.
