I'm hopeless at networking so please forgive my ignorance. I have 4 machines master, slave02, slave03 and slave04 connected by a switch and have they have static IPs 192.168.1.1, 2, 3 and 4. They share an internet connection which works fine on all of them.
I can ping to them e.g. ping slave4
and ping 192.168.1.4
both work, but should I not also be able to browse to them e.g. http://slave4
gives unable to connect
?
I use Ub16.04 and they have files like: /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.3
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.254
/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
192.168.1.3 slave3
192.168.1.2 slave2
192.168.1.1 master
192.168.1.4 slave4
TIA!!
EDIT a rather odd example of the network config on one of the slaves: I can't edit the ifupdown but the Wired connection 1 looks like this:
