Cannot reach site via local network to Apache2 server

I just installed Apache2 on Ubuntu Server 16.04.1 LTS and its ip is 192.168.1.107

I have another laptop with ip 192.168.1.103

I failed to send http://192.168.1.107 on laptop's browser because it showed 'This site can’t be reached' back.

On server itself curl http://localhost is correct.

I don't know why I cannot access it on another computer in the same local network.

And not sure which conf file I should check for Apache2.

sudo iptables -L

Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source    destination
ACCEPT    tcp  --  anywhere  anywhere    tcp dpt:http
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source    destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target    prot opt source    destination

ping 192.168.1.103

Few things to check:

  1. On the server, sudo iptables -L
  2. Ping test: run ping 192.168.1.107 on your laptop.
  3. Another Ping: run ping 192.168.1.103 on your server.

Follow these steps and append the results to your question.

Update 1:

  • Firewall is good
  • Can't ping from both sides.

Next Step, Check you router.

If you are using a wireless router, check if there is any setting called AP Isolation on the router, disable it.

If there is no such settings, check if you are connecting to a Guest Network/WIFI.

Both settings will prevent you from accessing any devices in your local network except the router itself.

Check Firewall Rules, I think your firewall blocks the port 80.

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
