Problem with Wireless Connection

I am having problem using soap (PHP), when I try to make soap request I get error 'Could not connect to host' but this happens only when I'm connected using wifi on arch linux but When I am using cable eth0 I can easily make request and get response, what could be the possible solution for this, any configuration or anything ?

Re: Problem with Wireless Connection

A few thoughts:

- Are there iptables rules present on your Arch system which allow certain access on your eth0 interface but not on your wireless interface?
- Are there any iptables rules present on the box you're trying to connect to allowing access from your "eth0 ip" but not from your "wireless ip" (I take it they're different)?
- Does the webserver on the destination host apply access restrictions?

Re: Problem with Wireless Connection

Gcool I donot have iptables configured on my arch, and regarding the box i'm trying to connect to I dont think it has anything either that stops wifis because if it was so I wouldn't have been able to use the service from another operating system using wlan0 connection
