Networking Issue: Unable to Resolve Local IP Address

Support / Troubleshooting
1

Hello Everyone,

I’ve set up a connection between two on perm-sites using twingate solution by utilizing a connector and client at each site at the same time, but I’ve encountered an issue when attempting to access/browse the server whether by using the IP address or hostname as follows:

Server A:
Local IP address: 10.10.4.10

Server B:
Local IP address: 10.20.20.20

Bidirectional Ping is functional when using the IP addresses and even the hostname after updating the host file. However, when I tried to access Server A using the URL for example ‘serverA:31415’ from Server B, Server B can’t resolve Server A’s IP address. Instead, it keeps trying to reach it using the Twingate NIC address.

How possible to set the Server B to only look for Server A’s local IP address?

Thank you

I apologize if I’m misunderstanding the situation here, but to clarify:

On server A, you’re running a Twingate connector and a Twingate client.
On server B, you’re running a Twingate connector and a Twingate client.

If you ping the IP of A from B, you get a response.
If you ping the IP of B from A, you get a response.
You’ve added the hostname/ip pair for ServerA to Server B’s hosts file
You’ve added the hostname/ip pair for ServerB to Server A’s hosts file

However, when you try to access http://ServerA:31415, the hostname ServerA is NOT resolving to 10.10.4.10 (or whatever you have in the hosts file?) or is it something else?

If you try and access http://10.10.4.10:31415 does that work?
