Can not access HTTPS

[hwkdriver]

Hello!

I am unable to access my server via my linux computer. I am able to go to my server via https in windows using chrome and internet explorer, but in linux(Ubuntu 9.04) it will only say web site not found. I am able to access the router's interface page via http. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

what browser are you using, what are the URLS you are trying, and what is the exact error message you're getting (if you can get an HTTP error, like a 404, it would narrow it down greatly.)

Also, are you dual booting on 1 PC, or using 2 different PCs on the same network?

and welcome to the forums

First a little bit of background since I did not provide enough information. I am trying to access one of two servers I have running(TES Platform, linux based). The reason I have two is because I am hanging out in the middle of Afghanistan and running two different lines of services off of a Bentley-Walker satellite. One server for each line, then running into a wireless router. The servers are there for bandwidth management and web-cache features. I have no problems accessing the first server ip: 192.168.1.1 but it is the second one with ip 192.168.1.0 The software can assign any ip address to the server, so changing them is not a problem.

what browser are you using, what are the URLS you are trying, and what is the exact error message you're getting (if you can get an HTTP error, like a 404, it would narrow it down greatly.)

I am using Firefox as the browser
I am attempting to access my TES Platform server. "https://192.168.1.0:2244" and "https://192.168.1.1:2244"
Error message: Failed to Connect. Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at "https://192.168.1.0:2244"


Also, are you dual booting on 1 PC, or using 2 different PCs on the same network?

Dual Booting

Thanks!

Also, after doing a little bit of thinking last night, I hooked back up the 192.168.1.1 server and the computer can access it just fine in both linux and vista. So I changed the IP of the 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.50 and linux will then connect to it. Would you happen to know the cause of this?

The help is as always MUCH appreciated

192.168.1.0 is not a valid ip address.

192 prefix is designated as a class C address (subnetmask of 255.255.255.0, but the last octet can change.) at no time is a *.0 a valid IP address in a class C or smaller network.

182.168.1.1-254 are all valid though, any one of these (so long as they aren't assigned to 2 servers at once) can be used, and are considered on the same network (logicaly, physicaly it would depend on network cabling and routers chopping it up.)

for more info, I'd google (or wikipedia, that will probably be easier) IPV4, and subnet. both are good reads.

anything that ends with .0 is not a usable IP

[meton_magis]

anything that ends with .0 is not a usable IP

not true. No class C network (or network with more then 24 bits for the network mask) can have .0, true, but a class A or B (or anything with less than 24 bits) will have several valid .0 addresses.

Well thanks a lot for the IP address 101 guys, I cant believe I let that one slip. Thanks!!
