Cannot connect to port listening on Ubuntu 10.10

Hi,

have you tried to connect with http://<ip of ubuntu>:8080/rpc2 ?

If you haven't set up properly the windows hosts (iec:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) that maps ubuntu with it's IP or if you don't have a dns server around to translate that name to it's IP you'll need to provide the ubuntu's IP in the URL

HTH

When i use the ip address i get the following exception:

{System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. ---> System.IO.IOException: Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

I have modified the hosts file as well. Should i restart my network adaptor for it to recognize the changes ?

I tried restarting my network adaptor but still the same exception. Anything else i can try ?

Can you ping the IP of the Ubuntu system?
As you are using bridged networking, does the Ubuntu system show in the DHCP client list

Yes i can ping the guest and using bridged networking.

I have assigned IP address and DNS servers manually. It also has internet access.

When i type http://vbubuntu:8080/rpc2 or with the ip in browser i get the following:

Error 404

It looks like a network issue but from the server side: Please see below if
you can pick up anything. It looks like it tries to send data to the socket with
content-type text/html instead of text/xml.

Let me know if you need any more information.

Its working now.

The url set was not correct, i needed an uppercase RPC.

Thanks for all your help.
