Having troubleshoot while connecting to external node using java multi-chain API

Question

Recently i am facing an issue while connecting to another node in multi chain (which is in different system).
It throws error like org.apache.http.NoHttpResponseException: XXX.XXX.X.100:2681 failed to respond.
i have already set rpcallowip=XXX.XXX.X.100 parameter in multichain.conf file of the both nodes.
Even after i am able to connect with that external node using CMD but the same way it won't allow me to connect using java API.

Answer 1

You need to set the rpcalllowip parameter in multichain.conf to the IP address from which the API commands should be accepted, not the IP address of the node itself.
