OK. Feels like I’m getting closer but still not quite there. I added an IP address but now get a `Connection reset by peer` error with `curl` and nothing shows up in the machine’s console output. Here’s my updated set of steps: 1. `git clone https://github.com/fly-apps/hellonode-builtin` 2. `fly launch --remote-only` – using the defaults. just to get the code built and image published 3. `fly create machinetest` – need an app for the machine to use 4. `fly ips allocate-v4 -a machinetest` – setup an ip4 address for the machine’s app 5. `fly m run -p 3000:80/tcp:http -a machinetest registry.fly.io/` At that point I have a machine listening on port 3000 (great) and an IP4 address for the `machinetest` app. `curl`ing that address however either gets me `Connection refused` or `Connection reset` errors depending if I use port 3000 or port 80 (respectively). For the `-p` option, the CLI doc says it’s format is `edgePort[:machinePort]/[protocol[:handler]]`. Since the code is listening on 3000 should that be the `machinePort`? I tried using `3000:3000/tcp:http` but that didn’t change anything. Other suggestions? I did poke around in the branches as suggested but didn’t find anything particularly illuminating. (interestingly and perhaps unrelated, `fly m list` shows an empty list even though I’m running the machine) --- _[View the full topic](https://community.fly.io/t/tease-us-with-more-machine-info/4494)._
