I CAN RELATE.. I ran into the same problem less than a week ago.. below is the items I checked to correct the issue.

make sure your port is turned on in your firewall (80 for HTTP, 4?? for HTTPS)

  • your host table
    /etc/hosts
    should have your router and gateway

  • your gateway:
    /etc/defaultrouter
    192.168.133.1

  • your nameserver:
    /etc/resolv.conf
    search unix.com (or your ISP DNS)
    nameserver 192.168.133.2
    nameserver 192.168.133.3

  • nameresolution:
    /etc/nsswitch.conf
    hosts: files dns

*** after your change these files, reboot system.
:slight_smile: Good luck
