@cyntia Pola, welcome to the forum.
If you want some help you need to remember no one but you knows what you are doing. The only response I could you with the information you have provided is that you have an issue on your network. BUT I don't know if you are trying to access a device on your local network or out on the internet. It could be a firewall issue. Are you doing this at home or at work? what devices are you using? what version of Node-red?
It is best to give an overview of what you are trying to do so please give us some details.

Hello,thanks so much @zenofmud Paul.
I'm working from home.
I'm trying to inject some data from node red to influxdb so i first want to see if it is well connected( my node red with the influxdb )
My node red and influxdb are on a remote server (the same).
The version of influxdb is 2.0 and node red 1.0.3.
I'm completely new in node red and influxdb

If you are saying you solved your issue, could you explain what it was. That could help others in the future.
