Under network config, /etc/hosts and lmhostsunder /etc/samba I have it
as 192.168.1.76
When I try to connect to smb.conf via SWAT using
http://192.168.1.76:901 <http://192.168.1.76:901/> it rejects me.
But when I connect to SWAT using http://127.0.0.1:901
<http://127.0.0.1:901/> it goes through.
Why is that?
I think the rationale is that the configuration should only take place
on the
local machine. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback ip, and can only ever be accessed
by the local machine, so it's the most secure ip to allow connections from.
