I am running a Debian box and am trying to connect to webmin from my windows box. have installed and started webmin in Debian and have gone in and removed the "allow=127.0.0.1" line form the miniserv.conf file. I am attempting to connect to webmin by using IE and typing "httpcommand to connect to //iloshorewall:10000/" but its not finding the server, all I get is a page cannot be displayed. I have these two systems connected via a hub which I an using to test configurations so there is no proxy or switching issues that exist. Any ideas?

First make sure you can ping between the machines, then run an nmap scan on the webmin box for port 10000 to verify it is open and not being blocked by a firewall. Also, try calling the machine in the browser with its ip address instead of its host name. For example http://mybox:10000 would become http://192.168.0.1:10000

hi,

i have a feeling that webmin uses secure http, ie - https://hostname:10000/

In some distributions is does, in others it doesn't. Try it both ways.
