Hi team,

When I am configuring network.host property in the elasticsearch.yml ,my es is not starting and i am getting below exceptions

" Requested Address Cannot Bind."

When i am commenting that line it was working as expected, Here i need to connect it from remote access so i need to enable network.host. Can anyone help me whats going wrong here.

FYI, I am using Azure Environment. When i am giving internal IP instead of Public IP at the network.host property its working. But using that i cannot get remote access. So please help me to get remote access of ES from the azure server. ![load](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/6/663b73a553e08f18425f46d868ed4d60c08f7f6b.PNG)

Please don't post images of text as they are hardly readable and not searchable.

Instead paste the text and format it with `</>` icon. Check the preview window.

You need to bind to the local port indeed.  
Then change Azure network settings to expose it.

Note that without xpack security that might be a bad idea to expose your cluster on internet.

Thanks for you Quick response David.

Sure I wont paste images.

Here for me the port is not the problem when i am giving my azure public IP at the network.host , the elasticsearch is not at all starting.

Here is my YAML Configuration file

And this is happening in the Azure servers only.

As I am configuring it in my local Systems It was working as expected.
