WSO2 not getting carbon login page with host name or IP address but works well for localhost

I have started exploring the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator.  I am happy that the installation is as simple as tomcat installation (just copy the the root folder on to your system and start running it.) with prior JDK on your system.  After starting the server I am able to login to the Management console using the https://localhost:9443/carbon  or  https://127.0.0.1:9443/carbon URL.  However if I try to access the same with system name or the system dynamic IP when I am inside the intranet then say https://lpt-systemesb:9443/carbon   or  https://175.23.4.56:9443/carbon  then I am not able to access the server.  I didn't see any request going to the server as well.

After trying several blogs and documentations we have to set the  HostName  or the MgtHostName  values.  But still the issue is not resolved.  because the issue is not with this setting.  We don't have to do any changes in the WSO2 related any config files.

The resolution for this issue is DISABLE the firewall or allow the access on the ports. Uncheck the Enable Firewall checkbox. (Means disable the firewall). Now you should be able to access the WSO2 Management console without any issues on the same system during the development.



In the above image the Enable Firewall is checked, to work properly it needs to be unchecked.
