In lecture 8.5, an apache2 server is created for downloading the files on my Windows virtual computer. I did the same as that, and everything was on track. Then, I ran the ‘service apache2 start’ command, and it also worked fine. However, when I tried to access the server with my computer’s IP address, using the web browser, the website states that it can’t be connected, and it’s not found. Why is this happening? Can I know all the possible reasons for it? Thanks.

Hi Dennis!
Can you show the results of:

ifconfig and route -n in kali

ipconfig and arp -a in windows

Thanks!

Hi, Diego. Here are the screenshots of kali and windows:
Kali: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tx5lXue1ZYrm-IbyE8oxk9IGjt_n-QXR/view
Windows: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ltmHSmXu0AjmVtP3m_lKGqMc7YLSEVrw/view

Also, can I know the difference between ‘ifconfig/ipconfig’ and ‘route -n/arp -a’ commands? Thanks.

Hi Dennis!
I can’t access your photos, I can read your questions so please ask it just once and in the same thread.

ifconfig wirks only in Unix-like OS and show active interfaces, route -n shows gateways
ipconfig is the ifconfig version for windows arp -a shows all the connected devices to the same network as windows.

Hope it helps!
Diego
