time out issue when accessing websites via lan

I setup LAMPP and virtual hosts on my Ubuntu 14.04 with lan ip 192.168.0.106.

I set up two websites with directories /srv/www/d6/public_html and /srv/www/d7/public_html.

here is the contents of /etc/apache2/sites-available/d6.com.conf. The d7 .com.conf is similar just edited for d7.

# domain: example.com
# public: /srv/www/d6/public_html/

<VirtualHost 192.168.0.106>
# Admin email, Server Name (domain name), and any aliases
ServerAdmin
ServerName d6.local
ServerAlias d6

# Index file and Document Root (where the public files are located)
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
DocumentRoot /srv/www/d6/public_html/
# Log file locations
LogLevel warn
ErrorLog /srv/www/d6/log/error.log
CustomLog /srv/www/d6/log/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>​

when I access from the local machine both websites on d6 and d7 load fine.

when i access via my win7 PC on the same lan nothing loads then it times out. But when I enter 192.168.0.106 I get the site on d6 quickly and normally.

here is my ubuntu etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 d6.local
127.0.0.1 d7.local
192.168.0.106 d6.local
192.168.0.106 d7.local​

I placed these on my win7 host file:

192.168.1.106 d6.local
192.168.1.106 d7.local​

when I ping either i get:

Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\whut>ping d7.local

Pinging d7.local [192.168.1.106] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.​

why does it time out?
any hints appreciated tia.

 

It's not the DNS - as you can see from the ping, it finds the correct IP-address for pinging, but it doesn't get access - which leads me to believe there is a problem either on the router or on the computer acting as a server. Maybe you have firewall-settings that prevent access?

 

Try disabling the firewall and see if that's your problem.

 

thanks to my eagle eyed friend it's fixed.

the correct IP address is 192.168.0.106
the ip address i placed in the win host file is 192.168.1.106

works ok now.
