I currently have two server {A;B}. A is hosting a IIS webpage, and B is trying to access it. I am able to access the page within server A (No problem since it is hosted there).. I have altered the host file in server B, so the page I am trying to acess points to server A.

This doesn't seem to be enough though, as I am not able to enter the page from server B.

  • I can ping the server A from server B
  • I can ping the website from server
  • nslookup website shows that server B is trying to connect to the incorrect server?

Why it is trying to access the wrong server? I don't know? The host file points to the server A - so why does nslookup say it point to a different server?

  • nslookup for server a seem to point the same incorrect server.. So that cannot be the problem? – nano Apr 26 '18 at 07:56
  • just telnet on port 80 from server B to server A IP address. May be server A firewall is blocking the outside connections. – Sunil Bhoi Apr 26 '18 at 12:33
  • Can you logon to server B and try to open the website on server A? This should show you what is happening – Vikrant R Apr 26 '18 at 15:16

NSLookup does not check the hostsfile, but your DNS server by default. Do you get the correct IP adress when pinging server A? PING should adhere to the HOSTS file.
