Node can not connect to other node with its private IP
Hello,
I'm having a hell of a time and I'm wondering if anyone can help.
I used forge.laravel.com to spin up a few instances in Newark.
1 for a DB
2 for web
1 for load balancing.
The problem: I'm unable to connect a node to another on port 3306, 80, etc
- I'm unable to ping the private ip
- cURL times out
- mysql cannot connect
- what I tried with iptables:
-- allow any on port 80 and 3306
-- allow input from the private IPs
-- disabled
I'm at my wit's end. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
m

Just to confirm, are both the Linode's in the same datacenter? When you run ip a and ip r on the Linodes, do you see the private IP addresses listed? If not, I would recommend making sure they are configured according to our Static IP Guide You can also try to reboot the Linodes with Network Helper running. To enable Network Helper:
- Log into Linode Manager
- Click on the name of the Linode
- Click on the "Shut Off" button to power the Linode down
- Click the "Edit" link to the right of the Configuration profile
- Scroll to the bottom and click the "Yes" bubble next to "Auto-configure Network"
- Click the Save button
- Power the Linode back on
You can read more about Network Helper at our guide.
A restart of each node fixed the issues. :X
Thank you for your help.
