on my machine I have installed nginx server. I am able to access it  
using  
[http://localhost](http://localhost)

But when I try to connect it from other machine using my machine’s  
IP(172.16.10.211) address and port number(80), it fails. It just doesn’t  
connect.  
In both the machines, I have made firewalls OFF.  
Host machine having linux has selinux disabled and other machine having  
window’s OS has all firewalls OFF.
