Greetings!
I have an issue with accessing the node-red dashboard on the host machine via [http://localhost:1880/ui](http://localhost:1880/ui). This port is accessible via other machines on the network but when I try to access the dashboard directly on the raspberry pi touch screen i get this error. I am using weston / COG /wpe webkit to load the GUI on the raspberry pi.
I have a bash script `/usr/bin/dashboard ` that uses COG to display the app:
```auto
#!/usr/bin/env sh
COG_PLATFORM_FDO_VIEW_FULLSCREEN=1 cog -P fdo http://localhost:1880/ui
```
I have alternatively tried to use the ip address instead of localhost and I get
```auto
Could not connect. Network is unreachable
```
The weston configuration is: `/home/alarm/.config/weston.ini` its contents are as follows:
```auto
core]
idle-time=0
require-input=false
[shell]
client=/usr/bin/dashboard ------>my bash script...
animation=none
close-animation=none
startup-animation=none
locking=false
[output]
name=
mode=
```
my network is configured using the network manger configured with a static ip of 10.0.0.10 using the wlan0 interface.
If I change change the target in in my ssh stcript to any other public site it works so I think it must something to do with the routing or maybe a firewall but I'm not sure how to determine the cause.
Below are some commands that I ran and their respective output in an attempt to learn more but I am not an expert on network configurations by any means.
```auto
ip route
```
result:
```auto
default via 10.0.0.1 dev wlan0 proto static metric 600
10.0.0.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 10.0.0.10 metric 600
```
```auto
sudo netstat -tnlp | grep :1880
```
result:
```auto
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1880 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 277/node-red
```
or....
```auto
sudo netstat -tnlp
```
```auto
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.53:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 266/systemd-resolve
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 297/sshd: /usr/bin/
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:1880 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 277/node-red
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5355 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 266/systemd-resolve
tcp6 0 0 :::22 :::* LISTEN 297/sshd: /usr/bin/
tcp6 0 0 :::5355 :::* LISTEN 266/systemd-resolve
```
and lastly...
```auto
iptables -nvL
```
```auto
Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT 0 packets, 0 bytes)
pkts bytes target prot opt in out source destination
```
How do I make that ip reachable on the host machine?
Thanks!

Which ip address specifically ? Did you try 127.0.0.1 ?
What do you get when you enter ifconfig in your CLI ? Do you see the interface lo (localhost) ?

Hi @Andrei,
I tried both the 127.0.0.1 and my static ip of 10.0.0.10 that I have configured with the Network Manger. 127.0.0.1 gives me: connection refused and 10.0.0.10 gives me: network is unreachable. (problem only exists on the machine that is hosting node-red, I can access both the editor and dashboard from any other machine on my network by using entering [http://10.0.0.10:1880](http://10.0.0.10:1880) (editor) [http://10.0.0.10:1880/ui](http://10.0.0.10:1880/ui) (dashboard) in a browser.
The output of ifconfig:
```auto

I wonder if you are facing the same issue from this post. Briefly, the case was browser initiating and trying to load the dashboard before Node-Red was loaded.

@Andrei!!!
Spot on sir!. Thank you I was getting ready to thow in the towel on that setup!
```auto
#!/usr/bin/env sh
sleep 5
COG_PLATFORM_FDO_VIEW_FULLSCREEN=1 cog -P fdo http://localhost:1880/ui
```
That did the trick!
