[Freedombox-discuss] cannot access plinth config web server

[Aaron Ferrucci]

I'm setting up an APU1D4 with freedombox, and I've hit a snag. I'm unable
to access the plinth config page from another computer on the same LAN. I
browsed the mailing list archives, and found this thread:
"[Freedombox-discuss] Need help with getting start", back in Nov 2015. The
problem described there seems identical: I can ssh into the freedombox, and
ping works, but the web browser says "problem loading page...". Maybe more
to the point, from another computer on the lan,
%  wget http://192.168.1.137
gives
--2017-01-06 20:53:11--  http://192.168.1.137/
Connecting to 192.168.1.137:80... failed: No route to host.

Another bit of info: on the freedombox itself, if I do
% wget localhost:8000/plinth
I get a file, "plinth", which appears to be the admin interface (its
description is "Plinth administrative interface for the FreedomBox".

This shows that apache is running, and would serve up the admin page to
anything that could connect.

So it seems I'm having a firewall or other connectivity issue, and I had
high hopes that the list of experiments posted in the "Need help with
getting start" thread would help, but so far I have not been successful.
I'm going to post the output of the commands suggested in the thread, in
the hopes that the info is meaningful to an expert. Thanks for any help!
