Please format your code, logs or configuration files using `</>` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21) and not the citation button. It will make your post more readable.

Or use markdown style like:

````
```
CODE
```

````

This is the icon to use if you are not using markdown format:

There's a live preview panel for exactly this reasons.

Anyway. Where did you run that command from?

```auto
curl -XGET "http://ip_address:9200"

```

From the same machine your browser is running?  
From the machine elasticsearch is running?
