Elasticsearch Bindexception cannot assign requested address
<p>I am trying to start my elasticsearch node and I am getting the following error</p>

<pre><code>Exception in thread "main" BindTransportException[Failed to bind to [9300-9400]]; nested: ChannelException[Failed to bind to: /192.168.0.1:9400]; nested: BindException[Cannot assign requested address];
Likely root cause: java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address
</code></pre>

<p>I am not incredibly linux savvy but I googled how to check if a process is using a certain port and found the following</p>

<p><code>lsof -n -iTCP:9400</code></p>

<p>which returns nothing. i also tried</p>

<p><code>netstat -tulpn | grep 9400</code></p>

<p>which also returned nothing</p>
