Hi,

I want to connect my elasticsearch cluster from another machine i went through some documentation where they had mentioned that i had change the`network.bind_host : 0` .But i didn't find the `network.bind_host` in my elasticsearch.yml . I got only `network.host` Even i tried it by giving as  
`network.host :0` but i cant able to connect from another machine. And i also tried removing ## before `network.host :0` which throws an error when starting elasticsearch cluster.

When i am connecting from another machine i have to give `http://clustermachingip:9200` right?  
Can anyone please help on this problem?

Thanks..

Beware of spaces.

Thanks..for your suggestion..  
That means you are saying that by giving `network.host :0` in elasticsearch.yml i can able to connect from remote machines .

Something like:

```auto
network.host: 0.0.0.0

```

Should work. But look at your logs. It will tell you why it can't start in case you are missing some important configuration settings.
