Check the firewall settings on the Linux machine.

By default, mine block port 8983, so the request never even gets to Jetty/Solr.

Subject: Connecting to a Solr server remotely

Hello, 

I've set up a Solr server on my Linux Virtual Machine. Now I'm trying to access 
it remotely on my Windows Machine using an http request from a browser. 

Any time I try to access it with a request such as "http//localhost:8983/solr" 
I always get a connection error (with the server running on the linux virtual 
machine, it's not a because I forgot to turn the service on) I know that my 
server is probably set to take requests specifically from my virtual machine so 
I need to change that.

If anybody has any idea how to get this to work I would greatly appreciate it.
