Cannot access nginix server running on ubuntu guest from windows/firefox

[mwoodpatrick]

I'm running firefox on windows trying to access an nginix server running on latest ubuntu

ip addr|grep eth0

reports:

4: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
inet 172.30.172.231/20 brd 172.30.175.255 scope global eth0

so I'm using URL https://172.30.172.231

But firefox reports:

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 172.30.172.231.

Firefox running on the Ubuntu distribution connects just fine and displays the page however sound is not working is this expected on WSL-2?

If I run:

wget https://172.30.172.231

in windows power shell I get:

wget : Unable to connect to the remote server
At line:1 char:1

• wget https://172.30.172.231

•   + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebExc

What version of Windows are you running? Can you open CMD and run ver and paste the output?

And what do you mean by 'sound isn't working'? What sound are you trying to pass through? Could you elaborate some more on your usecase?

Thanks!
