Can't access a local site site on LAN

Question

I have lighttpd setup on a machine (say ip is 10.107.105.13) with following details.

inet addr : 10.107.105.13
Bcast : 10.107.111.255
Mask : 255.255.240.0

I can access my site on this computer by using firefox http://localhost/index.html.

Now I am trying to access this site from another computer with following details

inet addr : 10.14.42.7
Bcast : 10.14.42.255
Mask : 255.255.255.0

But it says 'access denied'.

nmap 10.107.105.13 gives the following output.

PORT     STATE SERVICE
22/tcp   open  ssh
80/tcp   open  http
1234/tcp open  hotline
3306/tcp open  mysql
9418/tcp open  git

Following is the output of iptables -L -n -v on 10.107.105.13

 141 11207 ACCEPT     tcp  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:80 
    0     0 ACCEPT     tcp  --  *      *       0.0.0.0/0            0.0.0.0/0           tcp dpt:80

FORWARD and OUTPUT section empty.

What is wrong with all this?

Perhaps lighttp is configured to only listen on the localhost IP address (127.0.0.1) while you need it to listen on all of them (typically 0.0.0.0).

The problem was with proxy authentication step. I had to add 10.0.0.0/8 in no-proxy variables in my browser and everything worked smoothly.

Enable prerouting in you iptables because your both machine's subnet masks are different.
