I'm running an elasticsearch server on my Mac and would like to connect to it from Windows 10 running in VM Ware fusion. I have my adapter running in Bridged mode. Everything I read seems to say I should just be able to use the Mac IP address to connect, but it's not working. I have firewalls turned completely off on both the Mac and Windows. I'm trying to access Kibana from Windows, so doing http://192.168.x.x:5061 from Windows browser, keep getting ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in Chrome. I'm able to ping the IP from the guest, so clearly it can see the host, but something is blocking the connection. I tried forwarding port 5601 on my router, that didn't work either. I do also notice that trying to use http://192.168.x.x:5061 on the Mac itself doesn't work either, which I think may be the source of the problem, but I have no idea how to fix that.
Figured it out. I changed Kibana config file to bind to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost. I thought binding to localhost or 127.0.0.1 automatically made it also include the LAN IP, but you learn something new every day...
