Using elasticsearch 5.5.2, I can not connect using the TransportClient. The elasticsearch instance is standalone (My node with 5 indexes look fine using head and Kibana). I have

> transport.type:local, node.master:true, node.data:true, node.name:myCluster

set in the elasticsearch.yml.

In my Settings, I set my cluster.name and node.name. When I call client

> PreBuilTransportClient(settings).addTransportClient(newSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName(myhost),9300))

I get no errors, when I print out

> client.nodeName()

that is correct, but

> client.connectedNodes().toString()

is empty. The Exception I am getting is

> None of the configured nodes are available: [{transport#-1}{Dlw-DO6RJ-6zuwl2x\_xUw}{myhost}{ipaddress:9300}]  
> Can someone help?

I believe your node is only listening on `127.0.0.1` as you did not set `network.host` right?

I tried setting each of the following to network.host

> machine fqdn - ES wouldn't start BindException cannot assign requested addess  
> internal ip - Es wouldn't start BindException cannot assign requested address  
> external ip - ES starts, but head shows no cluster connected  
> hostname - ES starts, but head shows no cluster connected  
> localhost - ES starts and looks fine in head, but when trying to connect using TransportClient:  
> None of the configured nodes are available: [{transport#-1}{Dlw-DO6RJ-6zuwl2x\_xUw}{myhost}{internalipaddress:9300}]

Is something configured wrong on our system?

I also changed my call to

> PreBuilTransportClient(settings).addTransportClient(newSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName(myhost),9300)) to

PreBuilTransportClient(settings).addTransportClient(newSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getLocalHost(),9300))
